She is running from one powerful man...and straight to the arms of another.
Evading a forced marriage to a cruel baron, Lady Eliza has one desperate plan: disappear. What she doesn't plan for is collapsing on the doorstep of the most powerful dangerous, devastatingly handsome duke in England - a man who wants nothing do with her, and yet can't seem to let her go.
He despises intrusions. She is the worst kind.
The Duke of Ashford is arrogant brooding and completely off-limits. He values his solitude above all else. But when a storm traps them together and one reckless night changes everything, neither of them can't pretend it didn't happen.
Especially not when she's carrying his child.
Now the walls are closing in.
Eliza flees. She hides in a village. She lies about her name and tells herself she can survive alone. She is wrong.
He finds her - furious, protective, and impossible to ignore. And as the baron closes in and society sharpens its knives, the duke makes an impossible choice: risk his title, his reputation, and his carefully guarded heart to claim the woman he was never supposed to want.
She swore she wouldn't fall for him. She was wrong about that too.
Perfect for fans of: forced proximately, secret pregnancy, brooding dukes, Regency historical romance, and enemies-to-lovers with serious heat.
Genre: Historical Romance
