The Earl's Wife

The Earl's WifeLady Elizabeth has been promised to a man she hardly knows. The match secures land and titles, keeps money safe, pleases her father. To the world it looks perfect. To Elizabeth it feels like a cage lined with silk. She has been taught to smile, to keep still, to swallow her questions. It is easier to endure when no one looks too closely. But the walls whisper, and secrets slip through cracks she was never meant to see.
Eyes linger where they shouldn't. A woman watches her with a smile sharp enough to undo years of training. Desire curls where duty should live, and every glance risks discovery. The Earl hides more than his manners. His friends wear masks of their own. Puritan tongues are ready to cry scandal, and Elizabeth is tired of playing the part written for her. The Earl's Wife is a slow-burn sapphic romance about arranged vows, quiet rebellion, and a love that does not ask permission.
For readers who want yearning glances, dangerous secrets, and the moment when obedience gives way to courage.
