London doesn't ruin people with proof-it ruins them with whispers. Reginald, Duke of Ashburn, has survived society by mastering restraint: the careful smile, the measured distance, the discipline of stopping an inch short of disaster. But Josephine Langley has never been interested in being managed into silence. She meets the ton's cruelty with calm precision-and Reginald's composure with a ferocity that feels dangerously like home. One near-kiss on a terrace becomes a city-wide invention. Powerful men offer "solutions" dressed as protection: send Josephine away, restore the Duke's reputation, erase the inconvenient truth of them. Instead, Reginald does the unthinkable-he chooses her in daylight, openly, plainly, and without apology. But love is only the first battle. When Josephine uncovers a buried family crime-names, payments, and a legacy built on someone else's ruin-choosing each other means choosing something even more dangerous: the truth. With enemies circling, papers hungry for scandal, and their families poised to bury them both, Reginald and Josephine make a vow the ton can't edit: Careful first. Then brave. And always-together.

Seventeen-year-old Elena has always felt out of step with the world. Living in a quiet French town with her parents, her days are filled with books, river swims, and dreams that feel too fragile to speak aloud.

When Adrian, a charming and brilliant university student, arrives to spend the summer with her family, Elena's world begins to shift. He is older, mysterious, and carries with him a depth of experience that draws her in. What begins as shy curiosity soon blossoms into something more-a connection that feels as fleeting as summer but as unforgettable as first love. But summers always end. And when September comes, Elena must face the question that will haunt her for years: was their love just a season, or something she will carry with her forever?
