A shattered life. A fearless cousin. A chance to begin again.

Eleanor Huntington has lost everything—her parents, her home, even her title. Scarred by a cruel marriage and trapped by society's scorn, the only light in her dark world is Lord Joshua Wallace, the man who once saved her. But with his family determined to keep them apart, Eleanor fears she will never escape her past.

Her cousin Danielle, a fiery young duchess, refuses to let the ton dictate Eleanor's fate. Defying hypocrisy and scandal, she shields her cousin and uncovers secrets powerful enough to change everything.

As Eleanor struggles to believe she deserves love and happiness, the truth that Danielle unearths may give her the courage to claim both—if society doesn't silence her first.

(overhauled, expanded, re-edited)

Rebecca is a passionate advocate for raising awareness of abuse, human trafficking, and the devastating impact of drug and alcohol addiction. She does not weave these themes into her stories merely for suspense, but as a reminder that such struggles are tragically real—and that victims are never to blame.

She is also a firm believer in women's rights, drawing inspiration from the women of the past—such as those in the 1800s—who fought with courage and conviction to prove that women were not the property of their husbands, but their companions. Rebecca upholds the truth that violence has no place in relationships or marriage.
