Summary
Eloise is nearly two and twenty, Violet’s only unwed daughter, and suddenly the ton (and her own family) decides it is time now that Benedict is finally settled. Anthony wants control, Violet refuses to be moved, Daphne storms back into the season determined to “fix” her defiant baby sister, and the house is overflowing with babies, pregnancies, and matchmaking intent.
Then a letter arrives sealed in green wax: the Cranes.
Lady Marina Crane is dead. Sir Philip Crane is a widowed baronet raising two small children who are not his by blood, and he asks for discretion, not sympathy. Eloise, already reeling from what she’s learned about marriage, sex, inheritance, and the brutal ways women’s bodies become public property, can’t stop thinking about what it means that a wedding didn’t save Marina… and that duty didn’t save Philip.
A season of balls, gossip, grief, and domestic chaos unfolds as Eloise fights being arranged into a life she never chose—until she finds herself drawn, against all reason, toward the quiet, complicated man in Gloucestershire who chose children over reputation.
Love might add to one’s life.
It might also demand everything.
