She had a plan. He wasn’t part of it. And still—her heart called him home. Lady Maryann Hayes has always known her duty: marry Lord Hefferton and rescue her family from ruin. Dreams of romance were dismissed years ago. But one rain-soaked night in London changes everything. When she stumbles upon a man in need, her instinct is compassion—and her fate is rewritten.

He was lost in the dark. She lit the way. Leopold Lancaster, heir to a crumbling title, never expected salvation to come in the form of a sharp-eyed lady with courage in her voice. Maryann’s strength wakes something in him—a longing for love, for purpose, for her. And when dawn reveals the impossibility of what they shared, he cannot—will not—let her go.

Love wasn’t in the plan. But neither was regret. Promised to another and bound by circumstance, Maryann must decide if obligation outweighs truth. Because plans are practical. Society is loud. But the heart is fierce—and its call is unrelenting. And maybe, just maybe, this knight in a gown and this marquess in distress can rewrite the story… together.

She saved him once. He’ll fight to keep her forever.

🌹 If you’ve ever felt your path was already paved—and longed to leap for something riskier, truer, and entirely yours… this story is truly yours.

NOTE: Each love story in this series can be read as a stand-alone. However, most readers prefer to read them in order.

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.

Good, but needs editing

Love this prequal, even though I read other books first i enjoyed it. Just needs a bit of proof reading

Sweet love at first sight HEA

This sweet HEA features Mary Ann and Leopold, who meet by chance. Life throws obstacles in their way, but true love is not to be defeated.

Short romantic prequel

Loved that we have the opportunity to explore the beginning of Leopold's relationship with his wife. This book, albeit short, is fun and romantic and gives more background to this whole wonderful series of second chances.

enchanting

After the first page of this storyline, I was hooked, It was so interesting I could not stop till done.

Persuaded and rescued:the heirs lady in shining armour

I absolutely loved this story about Leopold and maryAnn. I love a good story with a happy ending. And lots of love floating about. A few grammatical errors, but hey! Who cares?.
