A rake’s flight…
Devin Everingham is notorious for two things: his devil-may-care charm and his steadfast refusal to marry. But when his formidable mother issues an ultimatum—find a wife or lose his inheritance—Devin does what any self-respecting rogue would do: he vanishes. Crossing continents to escape the altar, he plans to return only when the scandal has cooled. What he doesn’t plan for is the captivating woman who barrels into his life, bringing chaos, complications… and temptation.
A spinster’s plight…
Trinity Ablethorne has given up on the fantasies of romance and grand passion. A confirmed spinster with a taste for adventure, she’s more at home trekking foreign lands than curtsying in drawing rooms. But when a string of misfortunes leaves her stranded in a dangerous, plague-stricken country, she’s left with one impossible option: a marriage of convenience to the infuriatingly handsome rake who seems as wary of love as she is.
A union forged in desperation…
What begins as a convenient solution spirals into something neither of them can control. With every stolen glance, every searing kiss, Devin and Trinity edge closer to surrendering their hearts. But old secrets and hidden dangers threaten to tear them apart before they can even begin.
Can a rogue with no intention of settling down and a woman who’s vowed to remain untethered find the courage to risk everything for a love they never sought?
