She was once afraid to choose. Now, she dares others to do the same. Sarah Mortensen never imagined herself brave. But escaping a forced match-and the rules that demanded it-changed her. With Keir Mackinnear at her side, she's begun to trust her instincts, her heart, and the quiet voice that tells her she deserves more. So when her sister sends an urgent cry for help, Sarah doesn't hesitate. Society may disapprove-but its rules no longer define her.
He came to escort her. He stayed because he couldn't walk away. Keir promised to protect Sarah, nothing more. But as she grows stronger and surer, something in him shifts. He tells himself it's duty that keeps him close. Yet each look, each moment, each step away from the path he thought he was on suggests something deeper. Something he isn't ready to name-but can no longer ignore.
Together, they face a new kind of battle-and a love that won't be silenced. Helping her sister means facing scandal. It means interfering. It means defying every rule Sarah once followed blindly. But this time, she isn't afraid. And Keir, with his steadiness and hidden fire, walks beside her not just to protect her-but because he chooses her. Again and again.
Because love isn't polite. It isn't convenient. And sometimes, the bravest thing you can do... is go back and rescue the person you used to be.
If strength feels like something you have to earn-over time, through tears, and tiny acts of courage-this tale understands.
