Charlotte Fairfax has never followed the rules. Spirited and reckless, she dreams of adventure beyond London’s rigid society. When a scandal threatens her future, an unexpected proposal from the man she has secretly loved for years offers salvation. Soon though, pretending feels far too real….
Lord Sebastian Whitmore is a man of duty, not desire. With a crumbling estate and family obligations, love is a luxury he cannot afford. However, when a reckless bargain ties him to Charlotte, her wild spirit shatters his careful world. She is chaos and unpredictability… and suddenly, the only future he wants.
As family pressures mount and long-held expectations threaten to tear them apart, Charlotte and Sebastian must face the truth neither of them planned for. Is their love merely a convenient illusion, or will they defy society and claim a future neither of them dared to dream?
