A duke everyone calls a murderer. A bride who swore to hate him forever. A marriage neither of them wanted... until it became the only thing they couldn't live without.

Ten years ago, Duke Frederick Langley killed his best friend in a duel and vanished from society in shame.

Lady Marianne Fenwick has hated him every single day since. He took her brother. He took her family's peace. And now, with her family drowning in debt, he's the only man rich enough to save them.

She has no choice. She must marry the man who destroyed her family.

Frederick doesn't expect forgiveness. He doesn't even want it. He only wants to protect the woman he's wronged - even if she despises him for it.

But behind the locked door of his study lies a secret. A secret that could change everything Marianne believes about her brother's death... and about the man she married.

As old wounds start to heal, a new danger rises. A jealous society woman is determined to destroy them both - right when Marianne finally starts to fall for the husband she swore she'd never love.

Now she must choose: protect her heart, or risk it all for a man the world will never forgive.
