Elizabeth has studied for many years now and is finally ready for her first courting season. She has it all figured out: she wants to marry a wealthy man who will love her and give her many children. She's got her eye on her brother's best friend, Duke Liam Arlington, the eternal bachelor. And it soon turns out that Elizabeth has caught his attention as well. Their marriage will follow soon... or won't it? We all know about the Victorian Era. The many balls and social events. Splendid dresses. London's famous courting season. This love story is a different kind of love story, though not less real. It's about a love that was and perhaps still isn't as accepted as it should be, but therefore not less powerful or wonderful. This story is about one of the most important battles in one's life: the battle to love whoever one wants.

Loving Mark was never supposed to be easy. What started as annoyance quickly turned into something deeper-something forbidden. Clara knew from the beginning that their love had to stay hidden, that secrecy would be the price of wanting him. But the deeper she falls, the more unbearable it becomes. How do you love someone who won't even say the words out loud? Mark has always been careful, always in control. Until Clara. She shakes the ground beneath him, makes him want things he shouldn't, makes him reckless in ways that could ruin them both. He wants to keep her, protect her, but the only way to do that is to keep their love in the dark. And in doing so, he might just lose her. A relationship built on stolen moments and whispered promises-how long before it all comes crashing down? A story about passion, restraint, and the unbearable weight of love left unspoken.
