A novel by Aria Norton
Bookish and unbothered by society's expectations, Arabella Montrose has made peace with a quiet life in Hartwell Green. Yet, when the famous scholar she has admired from his papers appears at the village fair, she finds him more brilliant and far more disarming than any book ever prepared her for…
The Duke of Hawthorne has hidden behind grief and scholarship for ten years. His return to the countryside brings him into the orbit of a witty woman familiar with his work. As their bond deepens through secret letters, something more than friendship begins to bloom. Could she be worth the risk of opening his heart again?
