Bound to the Scarred Duke of Thornwood

“I am not capable of offering love, Miss Finch.”

He meant it as a warning. She accepted it as a promise of safety.

Benjamin Whitcombe, Duke of Thornwood, is a man society prefers to whisper about. Scarred by war and bound by a ruthless clause in his father’s will, he needs a wife, not romance, not admiration, and certainly not hope.

Only obedience. Silence. Practicality.

Miss Eleanor Finch has built her life upon being overlooked. Intelligent, composed, and quietly resilient, she has learned that usefulness is safer than longing, and that love is a luxury meant for other women.
