What he doesn’t expect is Miss Eleanor Langford—composed, clever, and completely immune to his rank.Determined to safeguard her beloved school, Eleanor has no patience for meddling noblemen or their entitled demands. But as the marquess returns again and again to check on his quiet twelve-year-old ward, their clashing ideals give way to something far more understanding, admiration… and attraction.As the summer term unfolds, Camden and Eleanor are drawn together in increasingly unexpected ways—through shared responsibilities, charged conversations, and the quiet presence of a child learning how to trust again. What begins as obligation transforms into something neither of them anticipated, but every step closer risks unsettling the delicate balance Eleanor has built around her school, her students, and her heart.With the academy under financial strain and gossip swirling like a summer storm, Eleanor must protect everything she’s worked for—even if it means holding Camden at arm’s length. But some connections refuse to be severed, and some futures are written not in ledgers or titles, but in choice. And as the season turns, both Eleanor and Camden will have to decide how much they’re willing to risk for love, and whether a new beginning is worth leaving old defenses behind.
A delightful slow-burn Regency romance brimming with wit, charm, and the kind of love that sneaks in when both hearts are looking the other way.
