“Your past is irrelevant, I want your present”

Joseph does not care that his father is dying and with good reason. Yet taking on the duties of a Duke means reentering the society he worked so hard to avoid. And find a Duchess amongst them…
Completely ruined by a man years ago, Caroline’s trust is a fragile thing. As her reputation threatens to drag her sister down as well, she finds her only ally: A Marquess as charming as he is mysterious.
Trusting the intriguing newcomer is almost impossible. But just as Joseph manages to weaken the walls around her heart, one thing becomes clear: the ton will not let happiness prevail in those who don’t deserve it…
