In the frozen winter of 1817, Eleanor Ashworth has resigned herself to a future behind convent walls. At twenty-four, unmarried and deemed too plain for the marriage market, she has accepted what others have decided for her. Her fate seems sealed until a scarred war hero rides into her life on a December morning that will change everything.

Alexander Ravenscroft, Marquess of Winterbourne, carries the visible marks of Waterloo on his face and the invisible wounds in his heart. Reclusive and battle-hardened, he arrives at Ashworth Manor with a calculated plan, seeking a practical arrangement rather than romance. But when his pale eyes meet Eleanor's across a frost-covered entrance hall, something neither expected begins to unfold.

What starts as a cold transaction becomes a journey of two souls learning to see past what the world has told them about their worth. In candlelit drawing rooms and snow-covered gardens, through heated confrontations and tender revelations, Eleanor must decide whether to accept the life others have chosen for her or claim the one her heart desperately wants.

A story of finding love when you've been taught you're unworthy of it, and discovering that sometimes the most damaged souls recognize each other's hidden beauty.
