She knew how his story ended. She just never expected to fall in love with him. Dr. Clara Woodman is a historian who has spent years studying the secrets of the past. But when a mysterious diary pulls her into 1815, she wakes in a wedding dress beside the one man she knows she should never meet, Francis Ashford, the Duke of Westmarch. The man history says will die young. The man she knows she can't save. Or can she? Francis has no idea who Clara really is. To him, she is a strange, impossible woman who appeared just in time to become his accidental bride. Her knowledge is unsettling. Her secrets are dangerous. And the more he tries to uncover the truth, the more drawn he becomes to the woman he should never have trusted. Their marriage was supposed to be nothing more than a convenient lie. Until the lie starts feeling real. But Francis is already being hunted by powerful enemies, and Lord Vanda Fort is determined to expose the mysterious duchess who seems to know things no woman in 1815 could possibly know. Clara has two choices: protect history and let Francis die as it was always written or save the man she has fallen hopelessly in love with, and risk destroying the future she came from. Because sometimes the greatest danger isn't changing history. It's finding a love worth rewriting it for.
