Synopsis
Breaking off an engagement and having a drunken one-night stand―dramatic, sure, but not unheard of, right? Not if you're a twenty-four-year-old noblewoman with the memories of an old granny, and especially not if the one-night stand was with the ruler of the empire!
Penelope Zecalion, the beautiful young daughter of an honorable baron, should be the most coveted rose in high society. But she is haunted by dreams of what seem to be different lives she's lived in the past, giving her the peculiar personality of a wizened old lady. Somehow, all her visions involve none other than Bart Dermian, the handsome Emperor of Lavata. After Penelope and Bart end up in bed together, thanks to too many glasses of champagne, Penelope must juggle the demands of both her family and her heart―not to mention her jumbled memories―as a dark force threatens to destroy the empire.
