My Fairest Lady

Summary

"""Mr. Hyde, I'm getting married."" Hyde, a cold and love-averse individual, is tasked by the prince to go undercover as the tutor of Lily, the adopted daughter of Viscount Bardin, to uncover clues about illegal firearm trafficking. ""And who will be the lucky gentleman to take your hand in marriage, my lady?"" ""Lord Lucien Sornell, the first son of Count Sornell. Are you perhaps acquainted with him?"" During his mission, Hyde discovers that his innocent and demure pupil, Lily, is engaged to Lucien, a notorious rake in high society. Ahh, yes. She's been adopted to be married off, so I guess now is when she comes in handy. ""Mr. Hyde, what do you think the lord likes in a woman?"" With her big, innocent eyes, Lily looks so pure, yet she has the delicate beauty of a painting. Her body is frail, yet she is well-developed in all the right places, and utterly adorable. For just one week, she vows to become the most beloved bride. ""Mr. Hyde, if it’s not too much trouble, will you teach me how to do it?"" ""Of course, Lady Lily. Teaching you is the greatest joy and pleasure I've known in life."" Though Hyde despises getting his hands dirty and is in a constant rivalry with Lucien, he decides to masquerade as a genuine tutor, teaching Lily the refined ways of noble romance to give Lucien a taste of his own medicine. Will Hyde’s lessons turn Lily into the perfect bride, or will they uncover deeper, more dangerous secrets?
