Dare to Love Me. Duvergier, #2

Constance Duvergier has learned to silence her heart, to suppress the impossible love she feels for a man she believes is beyond her reach. Marked by her mother's suffering from unrequited love, she has chosen to protect herself and live with that secret longing. Yet an unexpected blow to the head changes everything: suddenly, Constance becomes the bold heroine of a romance novel she has just read, a woman unafraid to confess and show her feelings without restraint.
Michael Pirard is tasked with finding Constance in the countryside and escorting her to London. When he sees her injured, fear paralyzes him, but nothing unsettles him more than watching her wake and declare her love for him with a passion he never imagined. This is not the reserved, cautious young woman he once knew. As fate further complicates the situation, Michael finds himself ensnared by the charm of this new Constance; bold, passionate, and uninhibited.
The woman he once believed untouchable now becomes irresistible, stirring feelings in him he had tried to ignore. But this romantic outburst is not permanent, and when Constance regains her senses, she is faced with an unexpected reality: she has seduced the very man she never dared to love. Now she must confront not only her own heart but also Michael's latent desire, a desire that could change everything.
