She Fled a Forced Marriage—Then a Duke Gave Her the One Thing No Man Had

Her family’s debt came with a demand: her hand in marriage. Clara Whitcombe refused. Facing a future with Silas Mercer, Clara leaves behind her home and the nursery she loves. Her escape brings her into the path of Nathaniel Harrow, the Duke of Wexford—and to Ravensmere, where her knowledge of growing things offers her a chance to build a life on her own terms. As Clara and Nathaniel work beside each other, trust slowly becomes something neither expected. But Mercer’s claim remains unresolved, and the debt threatening her family cannot simply be left behind. Nathaniel must decide what he is willing to risk, while Clara must find a way to protect those she loves without surrendering her future. Set in the English countryside, this historical romance explores family duty, the cost of standing up to power, and a love built on respect rather than obligation.
