"I love you, but I'm marrying him."
Eleanor has always been the perfect daughter, obedient, elegant, respectful and promised to a man she doesn't love. When duty calls her to marry the powerful and dangerous Duke of Ashbourne, she must leave James, the only man who has ever truly seen her.
But the Duke is not the monster she expected. Behind his cold gaze lies secrets, shadows, and a twisted desire to own her completely. Trapped in a gilded cage of power, Eleanor must make a decision between love and duty… until a devastating truth opens up everything.
Now, caught between the man who owns her and the one who holds her heart, Eleanor must choose: her freedom, her love or her duty.
Perfect for fans of forbidden romance, slow-burn tension, and drama.
