She watched the world -- until it turned on her. Lady Leonora Whickerton was always curious, quietly studying life from the edge of the ballroom. But one moment of innocent observation led to an act of cruelty she never saw coming. Fear took root. Her notebook stayed open, but her world closed in.

He failed someone once -- and vowed never to let it happen again. Drake Shaw, Marquess of Pemberton, carries the weight of silence. He once stood by when he should have spoken out, and the regret has shaped his every step since. By night, he defends those without a voice. By day, he hides in plain sight.

Together, they begin again -- slowly, bravely, beautifully. When Leonora's path crosses Drake's, she meets a man who sees her fear... and refuses to let it define her. He offers protection. She offers quiet courage. And as trust begins to grow between them, so does something neither expected: the strength to heal, and the chance to love.

If you've ever had to piece yourself back together, quietly, slowly, and bravely -- then turn the page. This story starts there.
