Breaking Up Was the Plan, the Duke Falling for the Villainess Was Not! 1Breaking Up Was the Plan, the Duke Falling for the Villainess Was Not! 1

"The plan was simple: play the foil, get dumped, live happily ever after. Now? The duke is head over heels for me, the world's on the brink of war--and I'm going to die."I was reincarnated into the pages of my favorite romance novel. Not as the bright, beloved heroine, but as the cruel, grasping villainess, a mere stepping stone in the story. My only job is to dump the "Cold-Hearted Duke" so he can meet his true love. Fail, and war breaks out. I die. Nobody gets their happily ever after.Easy, right?Except playing a vindictive noblewoman when I'd been an ordinary woman in my past life is harder than it looks. Because if that's the case, why--at the end of it all--is the duke holding me close, murmuring into my ear, "Grace... I will never, ever let you go"?!
