Her one constant is Simon, Julian's old army friend, whose loyalty is as tangled as it is fierce.

But when a sudden crisis shatters their balance, all three are thrown back into each other's lives. Now, staring down the fallout of their choices, Julian, Clem, and Simon must navigate the minefield of guilt, trauma, and a love that won't let go.

A quiet Italian village. A girl trying to save for her future. A man trying to remember who he is. And one summer that will burn itself into their skin. Emma thought this would be just a job. A sleepy little hotel in the northern countryside. A way to save up for art school and escape the weight of expectations. But when she crosses paths with Alessandro - a young American with a camera, a complicated past, and eyes that seem to see through her - everything begins to unravel. Tangled between lingering desires, unspoken regrets, and the raw tension of summer heat, Emma is pulled into a web of feelings that aren't safe... and maybe were never meant to be. He came to find inspiration. She came to find freedom. But neither of them expected this. A story of love, lust, and the inescapable pull of a season that changes everything.

He needs a noblewoman, but the one he wants is a lady's maid. Garrick Alexander Attenbrough II, The Duke of Windstrom, is in search of a wife. Not of his own accord, but the insistence of his mother, the Dowager Duchess. Garrick has been running his Duchy for a few years, alone, with the exception of a few tussles under the sheets. Since he isn't completely opposed to the idea of marriage, he agrees, but no one has sparked his interest. That is until his married sister, Lady Victoria visits with her husband, the Viscount, and Garrick lays eyes on her lady's maid. Estelle Morrow Blythe has spent her life in service of others. Though she feels lucky that her ladies have been mostly kind, and Lady Victoria treats her like a friend as much as she can, her life as a lady's maid has always been a bitter pill she had to swallow. Then she travels with Lady and Lord Thompson to stay with the Duke of Windstrom. The way he looks at Estelle makes her feel nothing she's ever felt before, but there is no way a lady's maid like her could ever be with a Duke. And she had heard much about this one... When fleeting touches and heated glances stoke the fire between them, Garrick and Estelle will have to decide if they can stand together in the face of society, or if they'll let it all crash and burn.
