She is running from her past.
He is determined to uncover it.
When Isabelle Hart arrives at Thornfield Manor as a governess, she only has one goal: survive unnoticed. She has spent two years hiding, perfecting the art of invisibility.
But Alexander Westmere, the Duke of Thornfield, is not a man easily deceived. He does not trust strangers. He does not believe in coincidence. And something about Miss Hart does not add up.
She is too well-spoken.
Too well-educated.
And she does not flinch under his scrutiny.
As tension simmers and secrets unravel, the walls between them begin to crack. But in a world where power is everything, trust is dangerous-and falling for the wrong person could cost them both everything.
