Description

When Duncan is given a ruthless ultimatum—marry within fifteen days or lose everything—he makes a desperate choice: the one woman in London who seems to need a husband as urgently as he needs a solution. Margaret Huxtable is thirty, quietly terrified of becoming a “poor Aunt,” and determined to protect her independence at any cost. Their bargain begins with deception, but as they navigate society’s scrutiny and their own guarded hearts, the arrangement forces them to confront what they truly want from love, family, and freedom. With Mary Balogh’s signature blend of Regency romance and emotional realism, this story explores the slow, transformative power of trust—turning a marriage of necessity into something far more enduring.
