About this ebook
Heiress Vanessa Becket has no faith left in men. Jaded by fortune hunters and betrayed by her own stepbrother, she’s determined to chart her own path—on her own terms. But when scandal threatens her safety and reputation, a temporary marriage to a future duke may be her only option. She never expected the groom to be Kingston Barclay, her late brother’s brooding, dangerously compelling best friend.
Kingston never thought he’d be desperate enough to seek a matchmaker. But with his estate near ruin and his siblings depending on him, he needs a wealthy bride—and quickly. Vanessa Becket is bold, beautiful, and everything he shouldn’t want. Especially since Kingston still carries the burden of a secret he’s kept for years: the role he played in her brother’s death.
What begins as a practical alliance soon turns into something neither of them planned. As sparks ignite and emotions deepen, their carefully guarded truths edge closer to exposure. When everything is finally laid bare, will their fragile bond survive—or will the past destroy the future they never dared hope for?
