Alanna did everything in her power to gain her parents' approval: wore the right clothes, dated the right men, attended the right parties, and made enough money to get them through the doors of high society that had long been out of their reach. Instead of a thank you for all she had done, she was blamed for reacting the wrong way to finding out her husband had been cheating on her with her younger sister-and her family wanted her to accept it because it was "true love." When Alanna decided she was done vying for her parents' approval and started feeling isolated, an old classmate came to her with an offer she couldn't refuse: marry him and join one of the most powerful families in town. The catch? Intimacy was off the table. Any plans for future children would be done through surrogacy or artificial insemination. Deciding this was the only way to regain her dignity, she agreed. But her growing attraction to her new husband made the no-intimacy rule all the more unwelcome.

Conflicted over his feelings for Kat, Max buries them down, knowing he's already asked too much of her-more than she should ever have had to give. But then his freedom is jeopardized by another woman-and he risks losing Kat altogether.

I heard his laugh before I saw her, and I already knew - that loose, unguarded version of it, the one I'd never once heard him aim at me. I found him with my eyes and there he was, all six feet six of him tilted toward Cathie like she was the only thing in the room worth standing near, his sharp eyes tracking her face with an attention I had spent three years quietly starving for. Something in my chest didn't break. It just went still. I set his coffee down on the bench - oat milk, no sugar, memorized without him ever asking - and walked away.

Agnes Drummond married Callum Brodie to save her father from debtor's ruin. She expected cold civility. A roof. A name. She did not expect the portrait of his first wife in the hall, or the housekeeper who mourns her still, or the sister-in-law who arrives each month to remind Agnes she is a replacement for a woman the village has not finished grieving. She did not expect, either, that she might one day want him to look at her the way he looks at nothing. A marriage of necessity. A house full of ghosts. And two people too proud to admit they are already lost.

"Gone are the days of whispered dreams under shared blankets and unspoken jokes that made us laugh until our stomachs hurt. We had once felt like two halves of a perfect whole, our love stitched together by time, trust, and a belief that we'd always be on the same path. But now, that path had split - quietly, slowly, like the shifting of tectonic plates." --- Stella and Vaughn have been married for three years - a relationship built on many years of love and trust.

Vaughn is determined to win her back, but will the combination of the past, family, and friends stand in the way?
