Until one scandalous morning changes everything.
Caleb, Marquess of Keery, wakes in Jane’s bed with no business being there and every reason to regret it. With gossip already spreading and Jane’s reputation hanging by a thread, he does the only honorable thing left to him: he offers marriage.
Their wedding is born of necessity, not affection. Yet beneath Caleb’s careless charm Jane discovers a man marked by loss, while Caleb finds in his unexpected bride a warmth, wit, and quiet courage he cannot ignore. What begins in resentment soon kindles into desire—and then into something far more perilous.
But when trust falters at the worst possible moment, their fragile new bond shatters. Separated by pride, pain, and old wounds, Jane and Caleb must decide whether their marriage will become a polite prison…or the love neither of them dared hope to find.
A sensual Victorian romance filled with scandal, forced proximity, emotional healing, and a deeply satisfying happily ever after.
