The Tyrant's Only Perfumer

A terminally ill young woman wakes in the body of Ariel Winston, the doomed antagonist of a romance fantasy novel she had been reading. In the story, Ariel is obsessed with Duke Cedric Evans, whose curse drives him toward bloodlust unless he receives a special scent only she can provide. The novel ends with Ariel executed after she is accused of plotting against Cedric’s lover. Determined to avoid the same fate, the woman in Ariel’s body tries to keep her distance from the duke and find her way through this unfamiliar life. But Cedric does not seem ready to let her go so easily.
