FORBIDDEN LOVE

""Despite all, I’ve never wanted anyone more than I want you."

♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡

Vivienne Carrington, the Duchess of Marlowe, has long lived a life of privilege and duty, her every move scrutinized by society’s unforgiving gaze. Beautiful, poised, and intelligent, she is the epitome of aristocratic grace. But beneath the polished exterior, Vivienne harbors a deep longing for freedom—freedom from the suffocating expectations of her title and the life her family has carefully mapped out for her.

At the tender age of eighteen, Vivienne is betrothed to Lord Edward Thorne, a man of impeccable lineage and wealth, chosen by her parents to secure their family’s position in high society. While Edward is kind and dutiful, Vivienne feels no spark of passion for him. Their marriage, arranged for political and financial reasons, is little more than a business transaction. But as the wedding day draws near, Vivienne is faced with an undeniable truth: her heart belongs to you.

You, the outsider, a person who doesn’t belong to her world—someone whose presence feels like a rebellion against everything she has known. Your quiet strength, your effortless confidence, and the way you look at her as if she’s not just another dutiful lady of the court have ignited something in Vivienne that she never thought possible. It’s not just the way you make her laugh or the way your words hold her captive; it’s the pull between you that she can’t ignore.

Vivienne finds herself torn between the life of duty her family expects her to lead and the forbidden love she never saw coming. In a world of titles and traditions, she is willing to risk everything to be with you, even if it means sacrificing her place in society. But how can she tear herself away from everything she has been raised to uphold? And how will you—the one she cannot stop loving—feel about a life bound by secrecy and rebellion?

Hope you enjoy!
