💔 SHE HID HER SCAR FOR YEARS... UNTIL THE DUKE CAUGHT HER UNDRESSING BEFORE THE FIRE | Historical Romance
For nineteen years, Lady Evelina Westbrook concealed the scar from the fire that nearly claimed her life. At 28, she has perfected the art of invisibility—hiding behind high collars and heavy shawls, convinced that her disfigurement makes her unworthy of love or happiness.
But when the Duke of Ashbourne discovers her secret in a moment of vulnerability, everything changes. Instead of disgust or pity, he offers her something she never expected: understanding. Alexander Hawke carries his own invisible wounds—guilt over his sister's death, years of emotional isolation, a life performed rather than lived.
What begins as an unconventional marriage proposal—a partnership of mutual protection and respect, not love—transforms into something neither anticipated. As Evelina learns to trust, to hope, and to believe she deserves happiness, she and Alexander build a love founded on radical acceptance: being seen completely and loved anyway.
Together, they create a sanctuary for women society has deemed "damaged"—a place where survival is honored, not hidden. And Evelina discovers that her greatest shame can become her greatest strength, that scars are proof of survival, and that true love sees beyond society's cruel judgments.
