Sometimes the heart blooms where duty never intended it to grow.

Iris Bedford has spent five years raising her orphaned cousins-including the beautiful Lady Winifred-while managing the Brentwood estate with quiet competence. As the children come of age, Iris faces an uncertain future. At twenty-six, she's resigned herself to spinsterhood, believing love is a luxury she can never afford. But when she's thrust into London society as Winifred's chaperone, everything changes.

Franklin, Duke of Suffolk, returned from Africa a changed man. Two years lost in the wilderness have left him with scars both visible and hidden-panic attacks that strike without warning, memories that steal his breath, and a family demanding he marry for duty. When his mother insists he court the accomplished Lady Winifred, Franklin dutifully obliges, never expecting to be drawn instead to her quietly fierce governess.

When Iris becomes Franklin's anchor during his darkest moments, their forbidden attraction ignites into something deeper. But their growing love threatens everything-Winifred's reputation, Franklin's duty to his title, and Iris's precarious position protecting the family she's devoted her life to serving.

As scandal looms and families demand conformity, Franklin must choose between the bride society expects and the woman who truly understands him. And Iris must decide whether love is worth risking the only family she's ever known.
