Just when she's decided to leave the Town, Lady Cressida Belverst is forced to marry Lord Calan Haverston, the man who coincidentally knows a way out. Agreeing to marry for all the wrong reasons, can Cressida and Calan find out where their hearts truly belong? *** It is impossible to leave the Town, but one woman is determined to escape with the help of her betrothed. Lady Cressida Belverst has always been judged as a walking scandal. Oh, how she tries (on some rare occasions) to be proper! When her parents arrange for her to marry a rich lord, Cressida has had enough. She has to leave the Town because she will not be forced to live with a man she doesn't love. But what happens if the very man she's betrothed to is the only one who can help her get out? Calan Haverston, the Lord of Easton, takes the risk and helps his betrothed by using his knowledge of the Town's secrets because he is as willing as she to stay free of marriage for reasons completely different. He has dark secrets he cannot share with her, and his life is not one he can likewise open to anyone. But what happens when she leaves after awakening desires he thought he has under control? And what happens when he finds himself longing for her? Cressida goes to a completely different place, one she has only heard in stories and read in books, with hopes of finding what her heart has always longed for. But love, mystery and secrets will chase her and it will only be a matter of time before she realizes what her heart truly desires. *This story is a standalone title in the Haverston Family series.

"I don't expect you to be perfect. Trust, for both of us, won't come out of nowhere. There's only one thing I will not tolerate and that is dishonesty. If you lie to me, Darcy, you can be sure that there will be severe consequences." Darcy was always that girl at the edge of the crowd. The one you hardly notice. She likes it that way. She has friends, a few close ones, but is unable to let them in completely. She's more vulnerable than she appears and is protecting her vulnerability by hiding behind sarcasm and easy smiles. But when her love life suddenly gets a boost she finds she has to choose between staying in her comfort zone or being constantly kept on her toes. Between steady and stable, or a man who gives her a new meaning towards the word "safe".
