Neither expected love to be part of the contract. Arthur Hastings, the Duke of Blackwood, is a man of logic and ledgers. To save his legacy from a wastrel cousin, he requires a wife - not for romance, but for the sole purpose of breeding a son.
He selects Charlotte Eversley, a quiet, "manageable" woman with a ruined dowry, offering her a cold transaction: security in exchange for an heir. Charlotte accepts the Duke's loveless proposal to escape destitution, bracing herself for a life of duty in his imposing, silent estate. But beneath Arthur's stern façade lies a man haunted by loneliness, and Charlotte refuses to let their marriage remain a hollow business arrangement.
As she fills his dark halls with light and music, she awakens a passion Arthur thought he had discarded long ago. When the duty of producing an heir turns into a dangerous reality, Arthur finds himself terrified of losing the woman who has become his world. Can a marriage built on a contract survive the raw, terrifying vulnerability of true love?
