She built a new name to survive him.

Two years ago, Seraphina Kirkwood was a duchess in love. Then her husband annulled their marriage overnight, accused her of a lie she never told, and threw her to the wolves of London society.

Now she's Mrs. Kirke - London's most sought-after matchmaker, hiding behind a new name and a heart she swore was done with dukes forever.

Then his own mother hires her to find him a new wife.

Seraphina takes the job for one reason only - to watch the man who ruined her marry someone else and choke on it. But the closer she gets to Nathaniel Ashworth, the more she realizes nothing about their annulment was what it seemed.

He didn't leave her. He was forced to.

Now she's caught between two men - one who's falling for her all over again without knowing who she really is, and one who's finally ready to fight for the truth, no matter what it costs him.

At a ball meant to announce his new engagement, Seraphina will get one chance to clear both their names - and choose, once and for all, between the safety of the life she built alone and the love that never really let her go.

A slow-burn, second-chance Regency romance full of secrets, scandal, and a heroine who refuses to disappear.

Perfect for fans of forbidden love, marriage of convenience, and dukes who have to earn their happy ending.
