A Brilliant Defiance (Courting the Unconventional Book 6)

About this book

Lady Jane Lyttelton has spent her life fulfilling the expectations of others, but the pressure reaches a breaking point when she finds herself at the altar beside an elderly duke. In a daring act of defiance, Jane flees, choosing to face social ruin and disownment rather than sacrifice her future. Just as she begins to carve out a new, independent life, her path crosses with Alistair Winslow, Viscount Alcott. Alistair is a war-scarred hero burdened by the secrets of his past and the dangerous mystery surrounding the deaths of his former soldiers. When Jane saves his life during a dark London encounter, their long-standing friendship sparks into an undeniable, complicated attraction. As a classic friends-to-lovers tale, their connection is tested by the shadows closing in around them. The stakes escalate as Alistair’s investigation turns deadly, forcing him to confront both his haunting memories and a ruthless enemy. Refusing to stand aside, Jane inserts herself into the line of fire, proving her loyalty and strength. As they navigate this suspenseful Regency romance, Alistair must decide if he is brave enough to risk his heart for a woman who has already proven she is worth fighting for.
