About this book
Lady Cassandra Sinclair has spent years guarding a scandalous secret and nursing a wounded heart. To keep her past buried, she devotes her life to running a private home for unwed, expectant mothers in the gritty streets of Whitechapel. Her solitary existence is shattered, however, when Lord Grant Thornton—a man she has long fought to ignore—discovers her operation and realizes he has found the perfect leverage. Grant, a cynical physician and the fourth son of a marquess, is under immense pressure from his father to remarry and provide an heir. Desperate to avoid the altar, he blackmails Cassandra into a fake courtship, intending to appease his family until his brother’s child is born. The arrangement forces these two bitter adversaries into a high-stakes charade, where they must play the part of a besotted couple in public while clashing behind closed doors. Utilizing the enemies-to-lovers trope, the narrative masterfully weaves together suspense, emotional depth, and simmering tension. As their forced proximity strips away their defenses, the lines between performance and reality begin to blur. Can these two guarded souls overcome their past traumas to embrace an unexpected future, or will their secrets destroy the fragile connection growing between them?

See all formats and editions For years, Lady Cassandra Sinclair has harbored a scandalous secret and a painful loss. Unwilling to trust a man again, Cassie throws herself into a confidential project—a private home for pregnant, unwed women. But after she is seen there by the arrogant lord she once fought feelings for, the walls around Cassie's secret life begin to crumble. Physician and fourth son of a marquess, Lord Grant Thornton is content with his reputation as a debauched widower. No respectable lady wants to marry a rogue, and Grant has no intention of marrying again. But his father's impatience for a male grandchild to carry on the family title spirals into a demand that Grant either remarry and aid in the effort—or be cut off. When Grant discovers Cassie operating the much-whispered-about Hope House in the poverty-stricken stews of Whitechapel, he's as impressed at her daring as he is furious. He also sees a wicked opportunity . . . Cassie is appalled when Grant threatens to expose her secret unless she agrees to a staged courtship. With any hope, the child his brother is expecting will be a boy, and Grant will be off the hook. But until then, Cassie intends to make him regret his scheming. Acting the part of besotted couple in public, the two bitter adversaries clash in private, until an inconvenient attraction becomes unruly—and unstoppable. ) ©2024 Cara Devlin (P)2024 Tantor Previous slide of product details 1.
