A widow bound by duty. A wallflower longing for escape. A love neither expected.

Margaret Langley has spent her life in quiet suffering, bound to a cruel husband whose death brings both grief and an unfamiliar sense of freedom. Now, as society pressures her to remarry and maintain appearances, she finds solace in the most unlikely place—a small bookshop tucked away from the watchful eyes of the ton.

Eliza Finch is content with her simple life among dusty books and whispered poetry. But when Margaret steps into her shop, a quiet connection sparks—a shared loneliness, a forbidden desire. As their stolen moments turn into something deeper, they must navigate a world that does not welcome their love.

With secrets threatening to unravel and duty demanding sacrifice, will they risk everything for a chance at happiness?

A slow-burn, forbidden Regency romance filled with longing, scandal, and the courage to love against all odds.
