She hated him for the silence between them, but feared what might break it...

Adelaide Croft was content to fade into the background, until scandal forced her into the arms of the Duke of Hemingdale. Becoming a Duchess was never her dream, but in a world where every smile hides a threat and every dance could be a trap, survival demands more than grace, it demands courage.

Adrian Hemsworth needs an heir, not a heartache. But his quiet, defiant bride isn't the docile companion he expected. She's a firestorm wrapped in silk and she just might shatter the walls he's spent years building.

As danger closes in and whispers turn to deadly plots, their marriage of convenience becomes something far more fragile... and far more precious.

*If you enjoy strong-willed characters, simmering romance, and a story packed with intrigue, don't miss your chance to read this enchanting Historical Romance novel.

No cheating, no cliffhangers, and a happily ever after guaranteed to warm your heart.
