    Summary

    What if Sophie was truly carrying Benedict’s child and the secret threatened to ignite a scandal powerful enough to consume them both?

    As whispers coil through the ton, Cressida, the newly minted Countess of Penwood, finds herself at war with the Dowager’s relentless attempts to control her household. But instead of turning her ambition against Sophie, Cressida makes an unexpected choice, one that could redefine her reputation and secure her long-denied respect.

    With tensions rising and misunderstandings pushing Sophie and Benedict toward heartbreak, it is Anthony who steps in steady, commanding, and fiercely protective to prevent love from unraveling under pressure.

    In a season of pride, power, and quiet rebellion, loyalties will shift, reputations will be tested, and redemption may come from the most unlikely place.
