What if being a courtesan was a choice, not a chore?
When courtesan Sophia Martin returns to the village she fled as a young woman, she knows it won't be a happy reunion - but she can't refuse her brother's request to attend to his expectant wife. Trapped until the baby arrives, she must navigate the social rift she caused when she left to pursue a disreputable life - and keep the true reason for her departure from the man she once loved, the bastard son of the Duke who ruined her.
Blake Vale has never forgotten Sophia, but he can't accept the decisions she made, the courtesan's life she leads, or the fact she's cast aside her true self. His old friend has to be inside this hardened woman somewhere, and he's determined to make her see she doesn't need rich men to be happy, and that their future has nothing to do with the past.
When the dukedom suddenly falls within his reach, Blake must come to terms with his own past and his birthright, and what that means for his future - and for Sophia.
