Description
“London fears him.
She married him to survive.
Neither expected to risk their heart.”
Margaret Camden has learned that survival requires silence. With ruin closing in and her safety no longer assured, she flees under a false name, determined never to trust again. When necessity binds her to a man society whispers about in fear, she believes she has traded one danger for another.
Neil Albury, Duke of Burendale, is avoided in drawing rooms and spoken of only in lowered voices. Cold, formidable, and unyielding, he has built his life on control and distance, knowing that fear keeps betrayal at bay.
Their marriage promises nothing but protection and discretion. Yet behind the Duke’s severe reserve, Margaret discovers restraint, honor, and a man far different from his reputation. And beneath Margaret’s careful composure, Neil senses a courage that unsettles him far more than gossip ever could.
As truths long buried threaten to surface, both must decide whether the walls they have built are protection, or prisons. For some reputations cannot be undone . . . but some hearts, once opened, can never be closed again.
