Summary
Lady Thorne has lived three years as a ghost in her own home—dutiful wife, failed baroness, silent ornament in a loveless marriage. When her husband’s desperation for an heir leads to dangerous “treatments” prescribed by a dubious doctor, her world narrows to pain and opium haze. Her salvation arrives not through miracle, but medicine: Viscount Zayne of Ravenshade, a widowed physician whose compassion defies every rule of their society. Under his care, Lady Thorne begins to reclaim the body and mind long denied to her.
As scandal brews and forbidden tenderness blooms, both must decide whether love born of healing can survive the cost of defiance.

But when her husband hires a “specialist” to correct her supposed defect, she discovers that the cure he intends is far worse than the disease.
Enter Sylus Qin: white-haired, red-eyed, and far too composed to be the charlatan he pretends to be. Summoned to perform an unthinkable task, he refuses—and in that refusal, offers something more dangerous.Together, physician and wife become conspirators, peeling back the lies that bind them both. What begins as an alliance forged in secrecy becomes a wager with everything at stake: her freedom, his future, and the ruin of a man who mistook ownership for love.

Summary
Lady Ainsleigh is everything society admires: poised, gentle, perfectly devoted to Lord Devrick Ainsleigh. Behind Rosemere Hall’s doors, that devotion is enforced with fists and forced smiles, each month without an heir marked in bruises where no one will see.
At a glittering ball, one person does see. Lord Xavier Meriden, newly returned from war and quietly infamous for the secrets he keeps, watches the way her shoulders flinch under her husband’s hand. When violence spills a little too close to public view, he intervenes with a spy’s precision—and offers her something no one else ever has: a choice.Sheltered in Evermere House, Lady Ainsleigh becomes more than a victim. With Xavier’s help, she learns to read ledgers and lies, turning whispers of war-time embezzlement into a weapon. As they unmake her husband’s power, another, gentler danger emerges between them: a love built not on rescue, but on recognition.

Summary
Lady Hartwell has spent three years as Sir Aldric Hartwell’s finest acquisition: dressed, displayed, and quietly forgotten once the guests go home. Her beauty enhances his reputation; her thoughts, desires, and bruises are carefully edited out of the frame.
To prove their “perfect” marriage to the ton, Aldric commissions a portrait from Lord Rafayel Vale, the scandalous Earl of Selwyn—an artist whispered to hide dangerous meanings in his work. He expects a flattering trophy for his salon.Rafayel refuses to paint a ghost.
In a north-lit studio and a chaotic atelier, Lady Hartwell discovers a different kind of gaze: one that notices the tension in her shoulders, the truths in her silences, and the way her eye goes unerringly to the paintings that shouldn’t be there. As their sittings deepen into conspiracy, they uncover a web of forgery and theft threaded through Hartwell’s collection—and begin to weave its exposure into the very canvas meant to glorify him.

Summary
Lady Hale was given to a war hero at seventeen and told to be grateful. Three years later, she lives in a house clinging to the cliffs and a marriage that feels more like an endless storm than a sanctuary. Captain Garrick Hale is lauded in the capital as a brave commander; only his young wife knows how easily his hands turn from gallant to cruel when the doors close.
When Captain Caleb Rowan, a former comrade, arrives at Halecliff House, old loyalty collides with the evidence of his own eyes: bruises half-hidden, flinches smoothed into practiced smiles, a “hero” who treats his wife like rope to be used and discarded. Caleb has spent his life following orders. This time, he draws a line.
A midnight escape, a small coastal fort, and a door with a key on her side become the beginning of something Lady Hale has never had before—choice. As Garrick circles and the law weighs war crimes against domestic ones, she must decide whether to keep running, to return and face him… or to stand her ground with the man who refuses to return her to the man who broke her.
