Robert Seymour watches his wife approach the desk in Thorne Hall’s shadowed study, her obedience a surrender he cannot name without risking everything. Isabella’s quiet compliance meets each of his deliberate commands, her body yielding over ledgers that decide the fate of his estate and the fragile worth she only feels beneath his hand.

The widower’s stern voice draws her closer each time he corrects her, the intimacy of his discipline exposing the hunger they both fear. Her breath catches as he steps behind her, the low order to bend forward over the open pages leaving no room for refusal or retreat.

With the viscountcy threatened, their marriage of strict command and willing surrender hangs on what comes next.
