Three Weeks with Lady X

Thorn Dautry, a formidable self-made man and the acknowledged bastard son of a duke, understands that to secure a suitable wife and cement his position in society, he must shed his rough-hewn exterior. He seeks the expertise of the exquisite Lady Xenobia India, renowned for her ability to refine gentlemen for the marriage market. India, headstrong and fiercely independent, accepts the challenge, vowing to transform Thorn into a polished suitor within three short weeks. However, their professional arrangement quickly ignites an unforeseen and volatile passion that neither anticipated. Thorn, accustomed to conquering any obstacle, becomes determined to claim India as his own, refusing to accept failure. Yet, the price of winning her heart is higher than any fortune: she demands the very essence of his wild, untamed nature—his "fierce and lawless heart"—the one thing he fears losing most. Their battle of wills becomes a thrilling dance between duty and desire, forcing them to confront their deepest fears and the true meaning of love.
