Mireille Eglantine’s only goal is to protect her family’s dying estate from greedy relatives who want it all. When a mysterious, wounded stranger collapses on her land, she saves him—never guessing he’ll soon be her husband.
He calls himself Edouard Halden, a baron’s bastard with nothing but a gun and a sharp mind.
Desperate, Mireille proposes a marriage of convenience: no love, no heirs—just survival.
But six months together changes everything.
Because some vows aren’t so easy to keep.
