Falling in love was simple. But staying together will take everything they have. Thea Keats and Frederick Voss know exactly what they a quiet proposal, a beautiful wedding, and a lifetime of love. Their path is clear, their hearts are certain, and nothing stands in their way. Until his father dies and their world unravels at the seams. Instead of a happily ever after, Frederick inherits a legacy of lies and a crumbling estate. Bankrupt and disgraced, saving his mother and siblings from destitution will take a miracle, and he refuses to drag Thea into a life of poverty and ruin. Love does not always conquer all. With Frederick pushing her away and her friends and family insisting she leave him, Thea discovers that love and loyalty come at a high price. One that may cost her everything. But what neither of them knows is how deep his father’s lies run, and if the truth comes to light, more than their two hearts will shatter…

They married for convenience—but found themselves at war. Phoebe Voss would rather face ruin than marry a man she can’t respect. Unfortunately, pride doesn’t pay the bills, and when her life crumbles around her, she does what she must to survive… even if it means marrying an obsequious halfwit of a clergyman. Samuel Godwin knows how to manage powerful people. Nod and smile. Flatter and agree. Keep his head down, keep his position, and keep serving his parish. So, when his patron demands that he marry, Samuel offers Phoebe a practical bargain. Beyond sharing a home and a name, he’d be free to do his work, and she’d be saved from servitude. A blessing for them both. But when his new wife refuses to play by the rules and ruffles feathers at every turn, this marriage of convenience may cost him everything. So, what happens when your wife becomes the one risk you can’t afford? And when more than their lives will be irreparably ruined if this arrangement fails?
