She was once the proud daughter of an Earl… until poverty forced her to become a companion in the household of the coldest Duke in England. ❤️

Lady Clara Ashcombe never imagined that her life would fall so far.

Once raised among the elegance and privilege of the aristocracy, Clara is suddenly left with no choice but to accept a position as a companion and instructress in the imposing household of Julian Montford, the Duke of Montford.

The Duke is known throughout society for his icy demeanor, strict discipline, and impenetrable heart. Still grieving a devastating loss, Julian has built walls around himself—and around his young daughter.

Then Clara arrives.

What begins as a clash of wills soon takes an unexpected turn when Clara brings warmth, laughter, and hope into the life of his grieving child. Slowly, the little girl begins to trust her… and the Duke begins to feel emotions he thought he had buried forever.

As whispers spread through the ton and Clara's position becomes the subject of scandal, Julian must decide whether his reputation matters more than the woman who has brought his family back to life.
