A past that won’t stay buried…
Miss Chastity Noble has fought her way out of shame and shadows. Rising from her illegitimate birth to become the assistant headmistress at a renowned girls’ seminary, she has built a life of security and respectability. But her hard-won position teeters on the edge when the school hires a new music and dance master whose piercing gaze and rakish smile awaken long-suppressed dreams—and forbidden desires.
A freedom he won’t surrender…
Aston Terramier, the rebellious grandson of a viscount, has no need for fortune or titles. He’s carved his own path, eschewing privilege for a life of freedom and artistry. The last thing he needs is his tyrannical grandfather’s rules—or the temptation of a woman as intriguing as Chastity Noble. Intelligent, steadfast, and utterly off-limits, she is everything Aston never dared hope for—and everything he cannot have without risking it all.
When stolen moments and whispered secrets deepen into an irresistible connection, their bond threatens to unravel the delicate lives they’ve built. Chastity can’t afford to sacrifice her reputation, and Aston refuses to let society dictate his heart. Yet with every touch, every longing glance, their resolve weakens, and desire becomes a dangerous game neither can resist.
For Chastity and Aston, surrendering to temptation isn’t just reckless. It’s ruinous. Yet some risks are worth taking…aren’t they?
