A Rose for a Rogue

Sworn enemies. Forbidden love. A family feud that could destroy them both. Eden Haverden has spent her life avoiding even the faintest whiff of scandal. But one fateful collision with the Marquis of Sterling-and the disastrous chain of events that follows-forces her to confront the fears, secrets, and a tangled family history she's tried to hide. She never considered she'd be at the charming rogue's mercy after a near-drowning. Nor did she anticipate the flare of attraction between them-a desire as dangerous as it is undeniable. Chester DeCourcy, the future Duke of Manchester, has dedicated his life to rectifying the sins of his ancestors. Every choice he makes is measured, every action steeped in duty and purpose. Eden Haverden is the last woman he should want-an illegitimate daughter from a family that's been his enemy for as long as he can remember. Worse still, her brother killed his. But even reason cannot quell the powerful spark that ignites whenever she's near. As they navigate a world where the demands of bloodlines outweigh the claims of the heart, Eden and Chester must decide if they're willing to risk everything-their futures, their reputations, and the fragile hope of love that neither of them ever thought possible. In a battle between loyalty and longing, can two hearts that should never have met find the courage to claim a love that defies generations of hatred?
