She rebuilt her world on anger, distrust, and the ruins of a love she had thought would last forever. Now, Harry has returned, and with the reading of his cousin's will, their fates are bound once more-by a marriage neither wants and the threat of losing everything they love to a vengeful heir.
As they navigate a coldly negotiated partnership, old wounds resurface and long-buried secrets are uncovered. With Blackwood Manor-and the future of two children-at stake, Harry and Cassandra must confront the lies that tore them apart. Can they forge trust from the ashes of betrayal, or will the tempests of their past destroy their last chance at happiness?
Step into a sweeping tale of second chances and sizzling tension, where enemies must become lovers, marriage is a matter of survival, and love is forged through hardship and hope. Perfect for fans of marriage of convenience, slow-burn romance, strong-willed heroines, and emotionally rich historical drama.
