Oppressed & Empowered: The Viscount's Capable Wife

She challenges norms. He embodies resistance. And somehow, they find one another. Evelyn Procten has no desire to marry—or to fit any mold laid out for her. Determined to become a physician like her father, she moves through life with unflinching purpose. Yet when she finds herself at Farnworth Manor with Richard—the one man who never demanded she be different—she begins to question what possibility really looks like.

What sparks between them is more than attraction—it’s the willingness to try. In a world that insists they change, Richard and Evelyn begin to understand each other not instantly, but intentionally. It takes patience. Curiosity. Effort. But neither turns away. Because being seen, understood, and cherished doesn’t mean being easy—it means being worth it.

He won’t change for approval. She won’t shrink for acceptance. And this Christmas, their love burns quietly bright.

❄️ If you’ve ever wanted to be loved not despite who you are—but because of it… this story is yours.
