Lady Isabella “Bella” Redcliffe, renowned for her wit and independence, is thrust into an unexpected arranged marriage with Lord Harrington. This union, orchestrated by their power-seeking fathers, leaves Bella feeling trapped, as she is not ready for marriage. However, she soon discovers a shared passion for literature and history with Edward, igniting an unforeseen spark of interest.

Lord Edward Harrington, a man of honor and subtle grace, is unexpectedly charmed by Bella’s vibrant intellect and spirit.
