The Duke's Unspoken Vow
Eleanor Hartley has spent four years mending gloves and counting shillings, watching her family's name crumble under the weight of a scandal she barely understood. She wants nothing to do with the aristocracy that ruined them-until the very duke connected to that ruin offers her a way out.
Gabriel St. Clare, Duke of Rothwell, needs a wife by his thirtieth birthday or lose guardianship of his young sister to a cousin with nothing but ambition and cruelty in his heart. A practical marriage seems the obvious solution: her family's debts settled, his inheritance secured, no messy feelings required.
But his father's will demands more than a signature-it demands a marriage entered into in good faith. And the closer Eleanor and Gabriel grow, the more dangerous the truth becomes. Because someone in Gabriel's family may be responsible for Eleanor's father's downfall, and someone is watching their courtship closely enough to prove it was never real at all.
As London's drawing rooms fill with whispers, a hidden betrayal threatens to unravel everything they've built, and Gabriel's own worst instincts may cost him the one thing money was never meant to buy-her trust.
A slow-burn, marriage-of-convenience romance full of sharp banter, aristocratic scandal, and a love neither of them planned on keeping.
