"YOU'LL REGRET THIS MARRIAGE," HER SISTER LAUGHED—SHE DIDN'T KNOW THE DUKE'S SECRET

Living in the shadow of her golden-haired sister Cordelia has taught Lady Eleanor Ashworth to accept her place as the overlooked daughter—the one with mouse-brown hair, regular features, and a love of books instead of beauty. At three-and-twenty, she's made peace with being invisible, finding solace in her modest library while her family's Hertfordshire estate crumbles around them and her parents pin all their hopes on Cordelia's ability to save them through marriage. But when Lord Marcus Fairfax begins seeking Eleanor out at London gatherings—asking her opinions, laughing at her wit, truly seeing her—she allows herself one dangerous season of hope. Standing behind a potted palm waiting for their promised dance, Eleanor overhears a conversation that shatters everything: Marcus admitting he courted "the plain sister" only to appear discerning before pursuing the beautiful Cordelia. Her own sister's delighted laughter rings out as they mock Eleanor's "pathetic" gratitude for his attention. Can a woman who's been used as a stepping stone to her own sister's happiness survive the cruelest betrayal of all—the one delivered by family? Perfect for fans of Regency romance, sibling rivalry, overcoming cruelty, and finding self-worth after devastating betrayal. 💕 Subscribe for emotional historical romance!
