When her own sister is let down by love, Pippa does what she knows best, believing a new courtship can restore her sister’s happiness.

Gentle Sebastian Thorne, Duke of Wrenfield, is their old friend and neighbor. Tired of being sought after for his title, and steered towards an unwanted match by his sister, Sebastian has had enough. Then why does agreeing to a false courtship to Pippa’s sister feel like a betrayal to his own heart, rather than an act of defiance?

When the man who ruined Pippa’s sister returns into town, harboring a secret to destroy the Everly name, it is reckoning time.
