A widow's quiet life is turned upside down when her son crosses paths with Duke Nicholas Howard-the aloof, captivating bachelor who rules the court of Leuedai with both ice and fire.

The Duke, despite his stoic reputation, becomes unexpectedly drawn to the widow and her illegitimate child, feeling an irresistible pull to them as if they were his own flesh and blood. Each moment spent with them only deepens his desire to protect and cherish them.

But in a kingdom where such ties are forbidden, their connection teeters on the edge of scandal.

Can their secret love survive the ruthless eyes of the court, or will it be exposed before it's too late?
