She was born into nobility, but not into strength. He was forged in war, but broken by it. Can two shattered souls find peace in each other? Lady Imogen Wilde has spent her entire life confined within a body that has never obeyed her will. Born without breath and raised under the constant shadow of fragility, she has always been seen as the delicate and overlooked daughter of the powerful Duke of Ascot. Isolated by her condition and treated with quiet pity, Imogen has grown used to being misunderstood-by society, by her family, even by herself. Until now. Colonel Simon Spencer is a war hero. Decorated, celebrated, and feared. A man who has led countless men to victory, yet returned from battle deeply scarred-both in body and soul. His glory came at a cost: sleepless nights, a wounded heart, and a brother who no longer recognizes the man he used to be. When Imogen and Simon meet, it's not love at first sight-it's recognition. Two lives shaped by struggle. Two hearts aching for understanding. In a world that has never truly seen them, could they finally see each other? But the path to healing is never simple. As their connection deepens, secrets begin to rise-dark truths that could tear them apart before they've had the chance to truly come together. A story of quiet strength, enduring scars, and the unyielding hope of love, this novel is a moving tale for anyone who's ever felt unseen-and longs to be truly understood. If you've ever craved a romance where the most powerful battles are fought in the heart, this is the book you've been waiting for.
