Lady Cordelia Daventry gave up on love years ago—until a chance encounter with Nathaniel Lowell, Viscount Wolverton, ignites desires she never knew she possessed. Their stolen moments together are reckless, intoxicating, and completely unsuitable for a proper spinster.
When the inevitable consequence of their passion becomes impossible to hide, Cordelia seeks help from Lady Celia Kendal. But secrets have a way of unraveling, and soon Nathaniel discovers the truth that changes everything.
Known throughout London for his roguish charm and commitment to bachelorhood, Nathaniel shocks even himself by pursuing the one path he swore he'd never take: marriage. But Cordelia refuses to be another obligation, another duty he fulfills out of honor rather than choice.
Two fiercely independent souls. One undeniable connection. As Nathaniel fights to prove his feelings are real and Cordelia struggles to trust a rogue's promise, they'll discover that true love requires more than passion—it demands the courage to be vulnerable, and the strength to claim their future together.
