She Collapsed in the Ballroom… The Duke Who Caught Her Changed Everything

She was trained to smile through the pain, to hide bruises beneath silk and lace, and to obey her father at any cost. In the glittering Royal Plaza ballroom, Lady Avon Russell finally breaks.

When her body gives out and she collapses in front of all of high society, a powerful, guarded duke catches her before she hits the floor. What starts as a scandal becomes a turning point: hidden bruises are revealed, old wounds ripped open, and a quiet war begins between a cruel father and a man who refuses to look away.

This is a soul-stirring historical romance about trauma, control, healing, and a love that doesn’t “save” her, but gives her room to save herself.

In this emotional, slow-burn love story, you’ll follow:
• A shattered ballroom moment that changes her fate
• A protective duke who has seen violence before and won’t ignore it again
• A daughter who finds the courage to stand against the man who owns her
• A marriage that becomes a safe haven, not another prison

Put your headphones on, close your eyes, and let this story pull you into a world of chandeliers, secrets, whispered promises, and a woman who rises from bruised to unbreakable.
