An overlooked spinster. A forgotten son. Neither expected to be anyone's first choice.

Lieutenant Julian Ashbourne has spent his life overshadowed by his brothers. Charming and restless, he has long accepted that he will never command the respect or admiration they do.

Miss Charlotte Pembroke has accepted an even lonelier fate.

At eight-and-twenty, she is firmly considered a spinster, overlooked by society and resigned to a future of quiet usefulness rather than love. Then an unexpected friendship with the youngest Ashbourne brother changes everything.

Unlike other gentlemen, Julian listens when Charlotte speaks. He seeks her company without obligation and makes her feel seen in a way she never has before. But hope is dangerous when one has learned to live without it.

As friendship deepens into something neither of them expected, Charlotte fears that wanting more may cost her the happiness she has finally found. And Julian must decide whether he is willing to step out from his family's shadow and claim the future, and the woman, he truly wants.
