“I will give the baby my name. But you must promise you will never love me.”
Lady Louisa Everly needs a husband. Not for herself, but for the newborn she promised to protect.
Julian Cavendish, Duke of Ashvale, is desperate to help his eight-year-old ward, who has not spoken since losing his parents. No one can reach the grieving boy.
Except Louisa. Because she is the only one who can speak to him with her hands.
So she proposes an outrageous bargain: He will give Louisa and the baby his name. She will give his ward a voice.
And neither of them will ever ask for love.
Until he falls for his wife first.
But the more Julian longs to keep Louisa beside him, the harder he must fight to remember why he can never let her love him…
