4 parts Ongoing MatureLady Elara Sinclair is a widow of a husband that left her absolutely destitute. It took 4 days for the bank to foreclose her home, revoke her land and sell off every piece of fine jewelry she owned. But good riddance, she'd rather have nothing than be with a man who tormented her even after death. Her circumstances however have led her to sleeping in abandoned buildings, scouring garbage and rationing water, a life she would never wished upon any lady in the ton. But everything changes when she's made an offer...a deal she can't refuse.
Mason Blackwell is faced with a predicament. His most cherished friend, Killian, has been plagued by darkness for years. A man overcome with shame and who has lost himself to grief. The problem was that his dearest friend was promised at birth to marry, and not just any old maid, but Lady Norris of Albright. And it's nearly time to fulfill this contract. Mason can't stand by and watch his friend ruin a promising marriage and a chance at a happy life....so he concocted a plan. If Mason can find a suitable woman to lie with Killian and aid in his healing, he can marry Lady Norris and find himself a happily ever after.
But everything doesn't always go according to plan. Sometimes he can't control the unwanted blossom of feelings that is so obvious on his friends face. And he might also be unable to help the empty pit in his own stomach at seeing her with someone else. Who gets the girl? Perhaps both?
