To wed, or to scandalise the Ton?Lady Rosamunde Tallwood would rather cause a scandal than endure a lifetime of polite misery. So, she does the unthinkable and runs. When the horse waiting beneath the old oak is not the one she arranged, her escape is swiftly interrupted by a most infuriating pursuer. Jonathon, Marquis of Rothesmere, is a man of impeccable reputation-and strictly noble reasons for wishing to avoid the marriage.
One snowbound night. One shared shelter. And by morning, a scandal too delicious for society to ignore. With whispers spreading through London's drawing rooms and ballrooms, Rosa and Jonathon find themselves bound by expectation rather than choice. Yet beneath the loss of freedom and choice lies a far more dangerous truth-one neither of them is prepared to face. Because in a world ruled by duty, reputation, and carefully arranged matches.
Falling in love may be the most reckless act of all.
