A marriage built on deception. A love neither expected. And a truth that could destroy them both. **** He married a stranger. She became the only truth he ever wanted. When Adrian Alaric Montrose, a duke of Langford, agrees to an arranged marriage, he expects a union of convenience, nothing more. But the quiet grace of his new wife disarms him, her warmth awakening a tenderness he never imagined. What he doesn’t know is that his duchess is not Lady Evelina Harcourt at all, but Clara Whitlow, a humble girl who traded her freedom for her mother’s life. **** She stepped into another woman’s world— and found the one man who could see her truth. Clara Whitlow never meant to deceive anyone. But when desperation forced her into a noblewoman’s place, she became the Duchess of Langford overnight. Cold halls turned warm beneath her care, and the duke who’d never known love began to fall for her kindness, her laughter, her heart. But secrets can only sleep for so long. When the truth surfaces, Clara must face the man she loves, and the ruin her love has wrought.
