Book Description

In the quietude of Market Harbingdon, Gillian Pembroke harbors a secret truth. Beneath the serene facade of this seaside village, the daughter of the Marquess of Pembury grapples with the shadows of a scandal that unjustly stained her name. When an unexpected encounter revives old memories though, and long-buried feelings are brought back to the fore, it seems Gillian has a choice to make.

Will the revelations of her heart's desires disrupt the quiet life she has carefully built?

In the grandeur of London, Gregory Spencer, the noble Duke of Sherbourne, carries a burden of regret. Distanced from Gillian during her time of need, his heart has remained tethered to the woman whose affection once lit up his world. United by a shared love for literature and altruism, Gregory's unexpected reencounter with Gillian ignites a spark long thought extinguished. Yet, a longstanding family feud looms over their rekindling bond, casting a shadow upon their future.

Can Gregory navigate the labyrinth of their shared history to reforge a connection lost to time?

With Gillian's parents contemplating a strategic betrothal and Gregory ensnared in his mother's high-society machinations, the two of them stand at a crossroads. Torn between duty and love, they must unravel the intricate web of societal expectations and rediscover the essence of their bond. Will their love prove strong enough against the family rivalry or will it collapse under society's pressure?
