Description
Lydia Harcourt just inherited Blackthorn Grange, a massive coastal estate, and a ward who needs protection. But there’s a catch: she has to prove she’s “capable” to a cold magistrate, or she loses everything.
Standing in her way? Simon Trevelyan. He’s war-scarred, brooding, and convinced Lydia will fail. He’s been running the show, and he doesn’t want to hand over the keys.
But when “accidents” start happening—near-fatal falls and whispers in the shadows—the rivalry turns into a fake engagement to survive the scandal. Now, Lydia must protect a child, save the estate, and try not to fall for the man who was supposed to be her enemy.
Will she rule the Grange, or will the shadows take it all?
