A Nobody Married the Marble Duke for an Escape - The Night His Daughter Needed Her, He Chose Her

She was a penniless companion, bought to be a second wife and keep a grieving widower's house quiet. He was the Marble Duke, the coldest man in all of Regency London, a husband who married her only to feel nothing at all. She meant to take her settlement, secure her little sister's future, and slip quietly away. She never planned to love his lonely, neglected little girl first, and the impossible, frozen man second. But when the late duchess's powerful mother wages a whisper war to brand her a grasping fortune-hunter and seize the child, and a midwinter blizzard closes over the city on the very night the little girl falls gravely ill, this overlooked nobody spends the one thing that was her whole reason for the marriage to save a child who is not even her own. And before the whole of the ton, the coldest man in England finally chooses the woman who chose him.
