Tekst achterflap

1913, London
Elizabeth's life takes an unexpected turn when she is married off to the wealthy Earl William De Vere. For him, it is a practical solution: an eccentric nobleman, more philosopher than charmer, who cannot find a wife of his own social standing. For Elizabeth, it feels like the end of everything she has ever known. A marriage on paper, without love, without choice, without a future—a life determined by a contract instead of her heart. But behind William's quiet, learned façade lies more than she could have ever expected. As two strangers are forced to build a life together, Elizabeth begins to wonder if her fate is truly as hopeless as it seems. Can love grow from a bought marriage?
Can a contract turn into a choice... and a stranger into someone who understands her heart?
