Description
When the heir of a respected title dies unexpectedly, his brother is thrust into a role he never planned to claim—alongside the scrutiny, obligations, and secrets that come with it. Into this upheaval steps a woman who has sworn off love, determined to keep her heart safely out of reach, even as circumstances force her into close proximity with the man who must now lead. As duty and desire collide, their carefully guarded lives begin to shift, revealing the quiet vulnerabilities beneath pride and restraint. With Mary Balogh’s signature blend of Regency-era romance, emotional depth, and gently sparkling wit, this story explores second chances, the cost of reputation, and the surprising ways love can find you when you’re certain it never will.
