The Possessive Lord's Contract Wife

After her father suddenly falls gravely ill, Eloise Wilkins is sent to stay with her uncle’s family for the season.

Kind-hearted and cheerful by nature, Eloise tries to enjoy her new surroundings, unaware that her uncle has his own plans for her inheritance after her father’s death.

But everything changes after one shocking night at a grand ball.

Eloise uncovers a terrifying truth about her father’s death, and the person responsible is someone she never expected to betray her.

With danger closing in around her and no one she can fully trust, Eloise desperately searches for a way to protect herself before her uncle steals everything from her — including her future.

That’s when she reunites with Damien Hawthorne, her childhood friend and first love.

Cold, powerful, and carrying dangerous secrets of his own, Damien is the last person Eloise expected to rely on. But after discovering one secret that could ruin him, she boldly proposes a deal:

Marry her, and she’ll keep his secret safe.

Damien agrees.

As the two enter a marriage built on secrets, hidden feelings, and mutual need, Damien uses his influence to help Eloise uncover the truth behind her father’s death and reclaim what rightfully belongs to her.

But while Eloise sees their marriage as survival, Damien sees it as something far more personal.

Because after losing her once, he has no intention of letting her slip away again.

A romantic historical mystery filled with family betrayal, hidden secrets, marriage of convenience, revenge, emotional tension, and a second chance at first love.
