Serena makes plans to marry a rake as she doesn't want to end up married to a complete bore. However her plans go awry when she is kidnapped and assaulted by her potential suitor. Lord Quinn, a grumpy introvert comes to her rescue and her reputation is on the line agrees to marry her.
The rest of the story is them getting to know each other, their friendship growing. After the attack Serena withdraws , becoming a faded version of herself. I loved how patient and understanding Quinn was, allowing her time and space to heal. He wants the real spirited her and does what he can to bring her back.
Despite her mistakes Serena learns to trust herself and others again.
Sweet slow burn romance
