To save her family, Isabel must marry a stranger.
When her father dies and leaves his wife and children burdened with debt, Isabel faces an impossible choice: marry the wealthy but cold and aloof Earl of Bengrove or earn her living as a governess.
The Earl offers security, luxury, and salvation for her family - in exchange for an heir, and a promise that she will never interfere in his affairs. Isabel makes the bargain, as she feels her duty to her family keenly.
At first, her grand new life with its huge houses and hostile staff is lonely and overwhelming. Yet beneath her husband's reserved manner lies unexpected kindness, quiet passion, and a loneliness that mirrors her own. Falling in love with him was never part of their bargain, and Isabel finds this new complication agonising.
Moreover, just as hope begins to blossom, a shadow is cast. The earl has a past-and the beautiful Mrs. Morrell, his longtime mistress, has no intention of stepping quietly aside.
Can Isabel risk her heart on a man who never promised her love? Besides, she is the one who still owes him-her side of the bargain has not been fulfilled, because she is not yet with child.
A slow-burn Regency romance of duty, longing, and the quiet courage it takes to hope again.
