A Duke’s daughter. A stable groom. A storm that could destroy them both—or set them free. Lady Lucy Lygon has spent her life suffocating under duty—expected to marry a titled lord, smile prettily, and submit to her parents’ ambitions. But when a reckless kiss in the stables ignites a forbidden fire with Clive Jones, her father’s groom, Lucy tastes freedom—and desire—for the very first time. Clive has clawed his way from nothing, determined to build a future through sheer grit and hard work. The last thing he can afford is the Duke’s daughter tempting him into ruin. Yet Lucy is irresistible: defiant, tender, and willing to risk everything for the love society denies them. When scandal, betrayal, and a storm that traps them together threaten to expose their secret, Lucy and Clive must decide: surrender to the roles the world has chosen for them… or fight for a passion fierce enough to defy every rule.
