A proud duke. A determined heiress. One unwanted marriage that could change everything.

When debt threatens Corbin, Duke of Wrenmoor, he accepts a marriage of convenience with Marijke van Acker, a wealthy heiress fighting to protect her inheritance. Their bargain promises duty without love—but neither is prepared for the attraction growing between them.

Set against the elegance and scandal of Regency society, this slow-burn historical romance brings together an aristocratic courtship, a wealthy heiress, family secrets, forbidden desire, and a proud gentleman determined to guard his heart.

When duty becomes desire, can an unwanted betrothal become the love they never expected?
