Lady Eleanor Montague, fiercely independent and unconventional, is thrust into an arranged marriage with the notorious Lord Sebastian Thornton, a notorious rake. With her father’s financial ruin hanging in the balance and Sebastian’s father seeking to reform his wild ways, can this mismatched pair find unexpected passion and purpose together?
Unbeknownst to Eleanor and Sebastian, there’s a hidden agenda behind their arranged marriage. Decades ago, their grandparents were close friends, but a bitter misunderstanding led to a long-standing family feud. The elders hope that by uniting Eleanor and Sebastian in matrimony, they can heal old wounds and restore familial bonds.
As Eleanor and Sebastian navigate their new life together, they clash over their differing views on love, duty, and societal expectations. Sebastian’s rakish exterior hides a scarred past, and Eleanor’s indomitable spirit begins to chip away at the walls around his heart. Meanwhile, they uncover the hidden family connection that adds a layer of complexity to their union.
Amidst societal pressures, family secrets, and the shadows of the past, Eleanor and Sebastian must confront external forces seeking to tear them apart. Can love truly conquer all, or will the weight of history and societal judgement keep them from finding happiness together?
