About this book
When the Season's most sought-after lady locks eyes with a mysterious earl whose kiss promises danger and desire, she discovers that the man who makes her pulse race harbors a dark secret—he's betrothed to marry her as part of a vengeful scheme against her father. What begins as a calculated seduction transforms into something neither of them anticipated, as passion and circumstance force them to confront whether love can bloom between sworn enemies. With Johnston's signature blend of emotional depth and swoon-worthy romance, this Regency tale proves that sometimes the greatest risks lead to the most powerful rewards. Perfect for fans of complex relationships and second-chance love wrapped in historical elegance.
