Description
“Seven years ago, he laughed when she bared her heart. She has never forgiven him.”
Lady Harriet Fordshire has spent years building walls strong enough to keep disappointment at bay. Once a hopeful writer with dreams too tender for society’s judgement, she learned the cost of vulnerability the night Sebastian Vane mocked her most personal work.
Now, fate forces them together again.
A storm strands them in the same inn. A dying estate binds their futures. And when Harriet learns that the man she despises holds the power to save her family’s legacy, pride becomes a luxury she can no longer afford.
Sebastian has carried his own regrets in silence for years. He never intended to hurt Harriet… and he will not allow her to sacrifice herself to desperation, even if it means standing between her and the only solution that could save everything she loves.
But old wounds run deep. Trust comes slowly.
And as past misunderstandings begin to unravel, Harriet must decide whether the man she once feared is truly her enemy . . . or the only person who has ever seen her clearly.
