Description
Fiona is a free-spirited young woman who decides to leave her home to escape the unwanted advances of a persistent suitor. She is aware that she must be married before she turns twenty-one to inherit her fortune, but she values her freedom more than her inheritance. Despite her plans, she finds herself seeking refuge in the home of her brother’s enemy after a mishap. The homeowner, Phillip, is the Earl of Sheffield, and he is known for his reputation as a rake. However, Fiona is intrigued by how he defies society’s expectations.
Phillip, on the other hand, is haunted by his past and is hesitant to host the impulsive young lady who arrives at his doorstep. Although they are attracted to each other, their conscience keeps them apart. In polite regency society, marrying a man with Phillip’s tarnished reputation is not acceptable.
As their affection for one another deepens, Fiona and Phillip must find a way to break free from society’s oppressive expectations to start a life together. Will they be able to find a way, or will Fiona be forced into a loveless marriage?
