Lady Evelyn Hershaw has never been considered a beauty in society's eyes. Her sharp wit and intelligence have always been her saving grace, but when her best friend, the stunning and vivacious Lady Charlotte, catches the eye of the eligible Duke of Ashford, Evelyn knows that she will always be relegated to the role of the unremarkable wallflower.

Despite his initial interest in Charlotte,  the Duke begins to find himself drawn to Evelyn's quiet charm and genuine kindness. As the two grow closer, they form an unexpected bond that threatens to upset the delicate balance of high society.

Amidst the gossip and scandal of Regency England, the Duke and Lady Evelyn must navigate their burgeoning feelings for each other, even as outside forces conspire to keep them apart. But with the help of their loyal friends and a healthy dose of courage, they may just find that true love can triumph over all.

When strangers from completely different backgrounds get married... -- Shifting as the cool breeze toyed with my senses, I sighed at my husband standing so far away, leaning against the yacht's railing and drowning out the world behind him. He didn't want to be here. He didn't want to introduce me as his wife and have to deal with social disapproval. In the world of upper-class snobs and elites, I was a complete outsider...an unwanted addition. I had no place among the rich, no way to make many accept my crass and clumsy ways. My husband hated me, and his family was all ready to make him move on to a lady who would match his standard. I simply was an ignored wife, a wounded reject and a lonely fool. -- Sweet and friendly Maya could never repay the favours bestowed upon her by the great ladyship of Naveria 'Madam Geena'. That 70-year-old woman had not only treated her like a daughter, given her shelter and a well-paying job when she first arrived at Hill City to earn for her family but was also her wisest mentor. However, with favours comes expectations, and Maya just couldn't say no when Madam Geena asked her to marry her spoiled grandson 'Demir', tame his rakish ways, and adopt the ways of the rich. It was a heartbreaking offer. Demir wasn't known for dealing with people below his class, but Maya really didn't have a choice. Madam Geena meant the world to her. Thus, after getting married to a rich spoiled brat, feeling her heart melt with fondness and watching as he completely ignored her existence and humiliated her ways, Maya was soon to realize that despite belonging to different worlds and having their own reasons for choosing to get married, both she and her husband were hurting in their own ways. Their worlds might have been completely different, but they both were equally miserable, lonely and broken. (Featured on Wattpad Chicklit's Reading List)
