She married to protect her family. He agreed to protect the isolation he had built. Neither expected the past to demand its due. After being made a widow, Isabel Barnett swore she would never love again. When she returns to her ancestral home of Scarlett Hall seeking refuge, her mother drops a devastating truth: the estate is near ruin, and Isabel alone can save her siblings from disgrace. To protect the family she loves, she agrees to a marriage of convenience with a handsome yet reclusive duke. Laurence Redbrook, Duke of Ludlow, has not left his estate in years. Society believes he hides from their stares, but the truth is far heavier, and he intends to keep it that way. So when the beautiful Isabel is offered to him in marriage to settle a debt, Laurence accepts, telling himself a practical arrangement will change little about the guarded life he has built. But navigating a marriage with a woman who wishes to avoid him is proving far harder than he expected. As the months pass, the walls around Isabel's heart begin to crumble, and a future with Laurence starts to feel like the escape she never let herself want. But the closer they grow, the more they each risk exposing the very secrets they married to protect. For Laurence, the greatest challenge is not winning Isabel's love. It is finding the courage to let her see the man he truly is.
