A Dance of Vengeance and Desire
When Shakespeare wrote "thus with a kiss I die," he couldn't have imagined the explosive chemistry between Dallas Townsend and Romeo Costa. Their story begins not with love at first sight, but with calculated revenge. At the Chapel Falls Royal Debutante Ball, Romeo executes his plan flawlessly-luring Dallas to a rose garden with promises of rare shortbread and champagne before ensuring they're "discovered" in a compromising position when a false wall collapses, revealing their kiss to the entire ball. "Ruined by shortbread," he announces coldly before proposing to "buy what he's broken." Dallas's engagement to Madison Licht instantly shatters, her reputation in tatters. Her father, seeing no alternative, agrees to the marriage. What makes this opening so compelling is how it subverts expectations. Romeo isn't the brooding billionaire with a heart of gold-he's genuinely cold and calculating, using Dallas as a pawn in his business strategy. His father has given him an ultimatum: find a bride or lose the CEO position. For Romeo, marriage to Dallas is merely a transaction, a way to secure his corporate future while striking at his rival Madison. The power imbalance is stark and uncomfortable, yet even in these early moments, we see glimpses of Dallas's spirit, her determination not to be a passive victim in Romeo's game.
