A Dance of Debts and Desire

Amelia Ashford thought she could endure anything: her father’s erratic gambling, London’s withering stares, and the suffocating weight of propriety. But when scandal strikes at dawn, leaving her father dead and her family drowning in debt, Amelia faces a far more dangerous adversary. William Thornton, a man as ruthless as he is relentless, claims her sister Charlotte’s dowry as payment, and he will stop at nothing to secure it.



With her family’s future hanging by a thread, Amelia must forge an uneasy alliance with Sebastian Sinclair, a viscount notorious for avoiding responsibility and courting scandal. Their paths collide in a tempest of whispered threats, midnight encounters, and the undeniable spark that crackles between them.



But as secrets unravel and old wounds resurface, Amelia and Sebastian must decide whether their growing affection is a dangerous distraction—or the key to untangling the web of lies threatening to destroy them both.
