“She has spent eight years hiding her name, because the truth of it would close every door in England.”
Lady Selina Calvert answers to “Miss Gray” now. A grey gown, a borrowed name, and eight years of silence are all that let a disgraced gentlewoman earn her bread as a lady’s companion.
Then, at an interview she has just spectacularly failed, the coldest duke in three counties crosses the room, looks at her as though her answers are worth collecting, and says the one thing she has dreaded for eight years.
He knows exactly who she is. Nathaniel, the Duke of Wexford, never intended to marry the daughter of a man who once went to the gallows.
But when his headstrong sister’s reckless night threatens to ruin them all, he offers Selina the one thing that can shield them both: his name.
A duchess cannot be quietly destroyed the way a nameless gentlewoman can.
It is meant to be an arrangement and nothing more.
But a man who married her to protect his family did not expect to start wanting to protect her, and as the truth begins to surface in London drawing rooms, someone decides the new Duchess of Wexford is worth a great deal of money to keep quiet.
She made herself small enough to disappear. He is the first man who ever wanted all of her, name and all.
