Some learn through rules. Others learn through love. But the wisest hearts find balance between the two. Siblings Arthur and Eleanor Abbott couldn't be more different. He leads with logic. She listens to her heart. Each faces a love that challenges everything they've ever believed—because sometimes, love doesn't follow expectations. It teaches them instead.
Part One: Rules to be Broken Once burned, Diana Lawson made herself a quiet promise: never again. No more dreams. No more vulnerability. But when Arthur Abbott—the Earl of Stanhope and London's most rule-bound gentleman—encounters her strength and spirit, he begins to question the structure he's built his life upon. Loving her would mean breaking the rules he's trusted for so long... and maybe, finally, writing new ones together.
Part Two: Hearts to be Mended Lady Eleanor Abbott never hesitated to follow her heart—even when it led her to Henry Waltham, a man far below her station. But when duty threatens to snatch her away, Henry must decide whether to defy tradition or honor it, risking everything to stand beside the woman he cannot forget. Their story isn't tidy. It isn't proper. But it just might be true.
🫶 If you've ever struggled between what's expected and what feels right—and longed to be loved exactly as you are, no compromise required... these stories were written for you.
