She needs to save her school. He needs a fiancée. Falling in love was never part of the arrangement.
Sophia Bennett has spent years building a village school with little more than determination and quiet perseverance. When its funding is withdrawn, everything she has worked for is on the verge of disappearing. Asking for help is the one thing she refuses to do.
Alexander Ashford, the new Duke of Ashford, has inherited more than a title. With his late brother's daughters depending on him, he faces a legal battle that could tear his family apart. To prove he can provide the stable home the girls deserve, he must do the impossible and find a respectable fiancée before the court makes its decision.
Their solution is simple.
A pretend engagement.
No promises beyond appearances.
No expectation that either heart will become involved.
But as shared responsibilities become shared hopes, and quiet acts of kindness begin to mean more than either of them expected, the line between duty and devotion starts to disappear.
Now Sophia must decide whether protecting the life she built is worth risking the love she never believed could be hers.
And Alexander must discover whether some things are worth fighting for, not because they are his duty, but because they are his heart.
