By: Meghan Sloan

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Lady Persephone Fairborne never expected to be the center of a scandal. Abandoned by her betrothed and shunned by society, she is forced into an engagement with her former fiancé’s arrogant brother to protect her family. She vows to keep her heart out of the game, but fate has other plans…

Lord Damien Loxley, newly returned from years at sea, is pushed into the role of heir and savior of two families. His only choice is a staged engagement to staunch the gossip while he searches for his missing brother. Even though his bride clearly wishes him anywhere but near her, beneath her defiance, he finds wit, warmth, and a spark he never expected to crave.

Thrown together by duty, their sparring hides a tender truth: every glance draws them closer. However, as a jealous rival plots revenge and dark secrets surface, false vows give way to real affection. Will their staged betrothal crumble under scandal, or become the love that binds them forever?
