Book Overview
New Edition!!! (released January 2026)
Engaged to an earl. Bound by a contract. Vexed by a young duke. Falling for a villainous stranger.
Sophie Everton never imagined her future could be sold with the stroke of a pen. Yet to pay his crushing debts, her father bargained away the only thing left of value—his daughter's hand. Now promised to Lord Kenneth Mulligan, a man she scarcely knows yet quickly learns to fear, Sophie must choose between saving herself or preserving her grandparents' ancestral estate in Ireland.
Determined to honor the deal, she steels herself for a loveless marriage—until she uncovers chilling secrets about her parents' deaths and the man who claims her. Then the Duke of Limerick storms into her life: infuriating, handsome, and far too intent on interfering with her fate.
One earl controls her future. One duke makes her pulse race even as he drives her mad. But when a third man appears—devilishly attractive, magnetic, and undeniably dangerous—Sophie must decide whether to trust her heart… or the stubborn voice of caution in her head.

BIOGRAPHY Rebecca Lange is a romance-suspense author and a devoted believer in old-fashioned love—the kind with stolen kisses, heartfelt promises, and heroes who protect without apology. She misses the days when passion was tender, not tainted, and when a man’s strength was something to be admired, not feared. In her stories, the villains are the toxic ones—not the alpha males who love fiercely and stand their ground.
Refusing to surrender to modern cynicism, Rebecca writes with heart, hope, and a touch of nostalgia—crafting timeless romances where love heals, hearts awaken, and happily-ever-after still means everything.
While she has explored various genres throughout her writing journey, her greatest passion lies in historical fiction—particularly stories set in the 1800s American West and the Regency era.
Originally from Germany, Rebecca was born and raised there before moving abroad in 2002 to serve a mission for her church in Scotland. A member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, she now lives in Utah with her husband, two sons (ages 18 and 20), and two lively Yorkie puppies.
Rebecca has been crafting stories since her teenage years, always drawn to tales of love, resilience, and timeless emotion. In the summer of 2012, she began pursuing her dream of writing more seriously, publishing her first work—a small cookbook—in February 2013. Since then, she has released a trilogy and continued to grow her author career.
Her writing motto is: Never Smut, Always Sizzling Kisses, Consistently Closed Door. She delights in weaving passion and tenderness into her stories, offering what she calls “sweet and diet spice” romance. Diet spice—what is that, you ask? It’s all about the thrill of longing gazes, passionate kisses, and close embraces that build anticipation without ever crossing into explicit territory. For Rebecca, the most powerful love stories are those that keep things tasteful and teasing, proving that romance can be both heart-stirring and wholesome.
