Lady Rosaline Crowley has only ever longed for one thing: a child to call her own. Widowed before her marriage truly begins, she is left alone and vulnerable, pursued by her late husband's ruthless cousin who seeks her fortune through marriage. As her independence slips away, Rosaline must choose between a safe union with an old friend or losing everything she has left.

Lord Leonard Bryant, the overlooked second son of a Duke, never expected to inherit anything at all. When scandal shatters his family and his father's life hangs in the balance, the title he never wanted suddenly depends on one thing: a wife. Bound by duty and haunted by a childhood that taught him to fear love, Leonard agrees to protect Rosaline while keeping his heart firmly guarded.

A marriage of convenience offers them both escape, safety, and a future that satisfies every obligation but the heart. Yet as shared nights and quiet trust begin to blur the line between duty and desire, the past threatens to claim its due. If love demands more than either intended to give, will Rosaline and Leonard risk losing everything to claim it?

Tropes: Marriage of Convenience, Friends-to-Lovers, Widowed Heroine.
