She’s bold in every way but one—showing her heart. Lady Christina Beaumont isn’t afraid to speak out, stir trouble, or upend polite expectations. Saving her best friend from a loveless match feels like a mission made for her. But behind the daring plans and witty defiance, Christina hides the part of herself she fears may cost her everything: her creativity, her passion, her truth.

He’s driven by purpose—and undone by depth. Thorne Sharpe clawed his way into wealth from nothing. Now he needs a respectable match to claim his place among London’s elite. Christina isn’t his intended bride—but she’s the one who unsettles him. What begins as rivalry slowly shifts into fascination, then something quieter... and deeper.

To be truly loved, she must risk being truly seen. As Christina and Thorne clash and connect, trust begins to grow. But love demands more than wit and bravado—it asks for vulnerability. And Christina must decide whether to hide the parts of herself she fears might drive him away... or offer him everything, flaws and fire alike. Because sometimes, the greatest leap isn’t defiance—it’s letting someone in.

If you long for stories where love doesn’t fix you… it finds you, exactly as you are—this book holds space for you.

About the Author

Hi, I’m Bree Wolf—a USA Today bestselling author, former academic, and life-long lover of stories. I studied English and Specialized Translation, wandered the halls of universities, spending more years than I should have trying to be reasonable.Eventually, that quiet, persistent voice in my head said: It’s time to write.I’ve since published over fifty historical romances, each one stitched together from pieces of my own heart: doubts, regrets, fears, and messy, hopeful dreams. I love chocolate (especially when chapters get emotional), cry far too easily at my keyboard, and have a deep spiritual bond with cats… which is tragically one-sided, as I’m terribly allergic. A lifelong heartbreak, truly.
