Publisher's Synopsis
A Love Forbidden. A Duty Unbreakable. A Choice That Could Ruin Everything.
Lady Eleanor Henshaw has everything-beauty, wealth, and the promise of a future secured by an arranged marriage to the cold but powerful Lord Percival Stanhope. But behind the elegant gowns and glittering ballrooms, she is a woman trapped, torn between duty and desire. Then there's Nathaniel Sinclair, a man who shouldn't have caught her eye. A commoner. A mere artist with nothing to his name but raw talent and an intoxicating passion that sets her soul ablaze. He sees the real Eleanor -the woman beneath the titles, the heart longing for something more than obligation. But love is never simple, especially when society demands otherwise. The whispers begin. The stolen glances turn into desperate embraces. And soon, Eleanor finds herself walking a tightrope between a loveless future and a scandal that could destroy her family's name. With her wedding date fast approaching and secrets closing in, she must make a decision: sacrifice her happiness for duty or risk everything for love. Will she dare to follow her heart, or will the chains of aristocracy crush the only chance she has for true happiness?
