She'll do anything to keep the charming rogue from thinking she is insane. He has been in love with her since they were children, but their love is forbidden since she is betrothed to his dying uncle. Will fate lend them a hand, or are they destined to be apart and miserable for the rest of their lives?

Katherine Bingham's world is spiraling out of control. Her father has arranged her marriage to an older man she cannot love, a decision she accepts only to escape a home where she's accused of murder and insanity. Trapped between two impossible choices, she reluctantly agrees to wed the Duke of Ashton, George Fairfax, resigning herself to a life of misery. But everything changes when she meets the duke's nephew, Nicholas—and falls hopelessly in love.

Nicholas, a man burdened by loneliness, is torn between duty and desire. His dying uncle's final wish is for him to protect the family legacy, but his heart belongs to Katherine. As their forbidden love deepens, dark forces within the estate begin to stir. Mysterious accidents turn deadly, and suspicion lands squarely on Katherine. Branded as mad, she's thrust into a nightmare where only Nicholas believes in her innocence.

Will their love be enough to expose the real murderer and set her free, or will they both be crushed by the weight of secrets and betrayal?

Step into this sweet Victorian Romance, where tender passion is subtly woven, allowing your imagination to complete the story.
