About the Series & World
She needed an heir. He needed revenge. Neither expected to fall in love.
Lady Penelope Fairmont has spent years surviving the aftermath of a cruel marriage. Now a wealthy widow, she believes her nightmare is behind her—until her late husband’s family threatens to steal her fortune unless she produces an heir.
Out of options and out of time, Penelope makes a scandalous proposal to the last man she should trust: Gabriel Montclair, the infamous Earl of Ravenshollow—and her husband’s closest friend.
Gabriel has his own reasons for accepting. Penelope once broke his heart to marry for wealth. Now, he sees a chance to claim her in the most intimate way… and settle an old score. But what begins as a cold, calculated arrangement quickly blazes into passion neither can control.
As Penelope’s innocence melts beneath Gabriel’s touch, she discovers a fire she never dared to embrace. And Gabriel, hardened by betrayal, finds himself risking the one thing he swore to protect—his heart.
But when their deal succeeds beyond their expectations, secrets and old wounds threaten to destroy the fragile bond they’ve built. Can a union born of lies become a love worth fighting for?
A steamy Regency romance filled with forbidden desire, emotional tension, and sizzling chemistry. Perfect for fans of Lisa Kleypas, Scarlett Scott, and Eloisa James.
