Lady Eveline Ashcroft, the strong-willed daughter of a declining noble family, is forced into an arranged marriage with the enigmatic and wealthy industrialist Lord Nathaniel Blackthorne to secure her family’s fortune. Neither desires the match, but duty calls.
Eveline, raised among socialites, initially sees Nathaniel as cold, distant, and impossibly stern. Nathaniel, burdened by secrets from his past and a heart hardened by betrayal, views Eveline as frivolous and spoiled. Yet beneath the brittle formalities, moments of unexpected tenderness begin to bloom.
As the seasons change and London’s glittering society watches, Eveline and Nathaniel must navigate jealousy, hidden enemies, and the shadows of past heartbreak. In the midst of scandal, whispered secrets, and midnight revelations, the marriage of convenience begins to unravel into something neither of them expected: true love.
