TLondon, 1858. Lady Beatrice Fairfax has waited her entire life for this moment. Bound by a betrothal contract signed before she could even speak, she stands at the altar of Westminster Abbey before four hundred witnesses, ready to marry Sebastian Whitmore, the Duke of Ashford. The man she has known since childhood. The man who has always been her destiny.

But when Sebastian produces their ancient contract and tears it to pieces before the entire congregation, Beatrice's world shatters in an instant. Accused of betrayal she never committed, humiliated before all of London society, she becomes the scandal of the season—the bride abandoned at Westminster itself.

Yet this is only the beginning of their story.

As secrets unravel and manipulations come to light, Sebastian discovers a devastating truth that sends him to Beatrice's door in the pouring rain, willing to sacrifice everything for a chance at redemption. What follows is a journey through pain, forgiveness, and the radical act of choosing love freely rather than accepting it as obligation.

In an era where reputation is everything and second chances are rare, two wounded souls must decide whether broken trust can ever truly be repaired, and whether love chosen is stronger than love arranged.
