She studies seduction; he doesn’t believe in it—until she becomes the exception.

Miss Madeleine Hunt is done being called plain and close to the shelf. With her three stout-hearted friends at her side and a tidy plan—catch his attention, catch his interest, catch his heart—she intends to secure a duke at a snowbound engagement house party. One week. One target. No distractions.

Sebastian Moore, Marquess of Cambridge, would happily trade Society’s noise for a silent library. Bound by duty, bored by gossip, he arrives at his best friend’s winter house party determined to avoid every matchmaking scheme in the county—especially the earnest young lady with a determined chin and the unfortunate habit of tripping into his path.

Then the snow falls. The doors close. And resisting temptation becomes impossible.

From disastrous first impressions to small, disarming kindnesses, Maddie and Sebastian collide again and again—until a near-kiss in the snowy gardens turns pretense to heat and reshapes every intention.

Snowed in, nowhere to hide—only one person makes the world feel warm.

When family expectations tighten and their own rules begin to chafe, Maddie and Sebastian must decide what they’re willing to risk: reputation, plans, and the comfortable lives they’ve outgrown…or the kind of love that remakes them both.
