𝐋𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐧, 𝟏𝟖𝟏𝟓.
Lady Amara Darlington is a woman born from wealth, sharpened by scrutiny, and hated for simply existing in rooms never meant for her. The daughter of a Caribbean sugar baron, she is rich, titled, stunning-and Black.
The Duke of Harland is everything she cannot stand. Cold. Distant. Aristocratic to the bone. And above all, powerful. When scandal forces them into a false engagement neither of them desires, sparks fly-and so do insults.
What begins as disdain becomes desire. And what once threatened 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐮𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐥𝐚𝐝𝐲... may just be the thing that saves her.
Enemies to lovers. Fake courtship. Forbidden touch. Ballroom stares that burn. A slow, smoldering unraveling of two hearts that swore they'd never bow to anyone.
