Lady Letitia finds herself bound in a union not of love, but of duty-wed to the enigmatic grandson of a Duke while her heart still whispers the name of another. Yet what begins as a cold arrangement slowly kindles into something warmer, deeper... unexpected. Through teacups and twisted ankles, family scandals and far-too-polite balls, Letitia learns that affection can bloom in the most peculiar of places-even in a marriage stitched together by society's hand. But just when she opens her heart, she stumbles upon a secret her husband guards with a smile too gentle to be trusted.
After all... there's more to the family than meets the eye!
