Lady Cora Lee is out of time.
The beautiful daughter of an earl, Lady Cora Lee, has spent years quietly dreaming of love—only to be rejected by suitors unwilling to take on the burden of her four younger siblings. But just as she’s about to resign herself to spinsterhood, her family’s world comes crashing down: her father’s reckless investments have left them nearly penniless. With their estate on the verge of ruin, Cora’s only hope of saving them is to do the unthinkable—find a wealthy husband fast.
But convincing a suitor to marry her, while also taking on her rambunctious siblings, seems an impossible task. Until Steven Mannering, the elusive Marquess of Burford, arrives on the scene. Hiding from his meddling mother, Steven has been living under a false identity, posing as a humble scholar. The last thing he wants is a wife—but he never counted on meeting someone like Cora.
As their worlds collide, Cora must navigate the lies, the secrets, and the growing desire between them. But with her family’s future hanging by a thread and her heart caught in a dangerous game, she can’t afford to lose. Will Cora’s sacrifice save them all—or will her chance at love slip through her fingers?
