Résumé :
Mistaken for a criminal, a noblewoman navigates a world of danger and intrigue, finding unexpected, forbidden love with her captor... Spanish noblewoman, Clodovea de Soverosa, finds the glitter and gossip of Society stifling. Seeking solace in a secluded study while attending a ball, she inadvertently crosses paths with a mysterious stranger on a clandestine mission. Her encounter plunges her into a world of intrigue she's ill-prepared for. Mistaken for a criminal, Clodovea is swept into a whirlwind of danger and deception. As she grapples with her unforeseen circumstances, she discovers a strength within herself she never knew she had. Amidst the chaos, she finds herself drawn to her captor, a man she knows she should despise, but her heart suggests otherwise. Lucius Westbrook, a loyal servant of the Crown, is on a mission to protect his country at all costs. His world turns upside down when he mistakenly kidnaps Clodovea, believing her to be a threat to national security. Faced with the consequences of his error, Lucius proposes a marriage of convenience to safeguard her reputation. As he struggles to maintain his fa?ade of indifference, he finds himself falling for the fiery and resilient woman he's sworn to protect. Lucius must navigate his duty to his country and his growing feelings for Clodovea, realizing that her forgiveness is not easily won. In this tale of mistaken identity and accidental abduction, Clodovea and Lucius are thrust together in a precarious duel of secrets and passion. As they face societal pressures and personal demons, they must decide whether their forced union can bloom into true love. In a world where every step could lead to heartbreak, can they find a path to happiness, or will their love be lost to the shadows of duty and honor? ________________________________________________________________ Secrets, Suspense, and Swoon-Worthy Romance...
