A damaged duke. A misunderstood duchess. A marriage forged in the fires of obligation.

Jane Miller's world shatters with the discovery of a devastating secret. Forced to leave behind the family she once cherished, burdened by her father's insurmountable debts, and thrust into an arranged marriage to the enigmatic Edward Green, Jane teeters on the edge of despair. As she is drawn deeper into Edward's icy world, her resolve begins to waver.

From the start, their union is rife with distrust, unspoken resentments, and clashing wills. But beneath Edward's aloof exterior lies a man harbouring his own scars and secrets-ones that could either bridge the growing chasm between them or seal their fates forever. 

Can Jane and Edward overcome their differences to find solace in each other, or will their fragile connection crumble under the weight of deception? Can love truly grow between adversaries? Or will the shadows of their pasts consume the fragile bond forming between them?

Instead of answering, Maya reached up, her fingers deftly undoing the buttons of his shirt one by one. Each button released with a soft click, revealing more of him beneath. The gesture spoke volumes, a silent invitation that made his heart race. Rohan held his breath, captivated by her boldness, knowing that the night ahead would be unforgettable.

The sight of her like this, vulnerable yet resolute, sent a shiver down his spine. "Maya..." His voice was rough, filled with an emotion he could barely contain, his hands reaching out to cup her face. "Are you sure about this?" She answered him with a kiss, her lips crashing against his with a fervor that left no room for doubt. .•♫•♬•Happy Reading•♬•♫•.
