Invitations have been sent, gossip fills the drawing rooms of the ton, and the wedding approaches quickly. Everything seems perfectly planned. Until a late debutante arrives in London. You. A mysterious young woman who has entered the season unusually late, immediately capturing attention at the final balls of the social season. Your presence disrupts the delicate balance of the ton. Simon notices you the moment you enter the room. He does not intend to. He does not want to. And yet… his eyes continue to find you.

Now he must navigate duty, reputation, and the growing pull toward a woman he should not want.
