WHAT LOVE LEFT BEHIND: A Forced Betrothal Becomes Real Love.

Collected Edition Notice This special volume brings together the complete trilogy in one collected edition and includes an exclusive bonus epilogue available only in this edition, created as the definitive closing chapter of the saga. Three novels, one uninterrupted journey-and a final farewell that completes Clara and Jakob's story. >A political dispute sends Clara von Lichtenau into the heart of enemy territory, where old loyalties, missing documents, and dangerous secrets have turned a noble fortress into a battlefield without swords. When Jakob von Hohenfels protects her by declaring her his betrothed, Clara trades one threat for another: a bond she never chose with a man she has every reason to distrust. But the deeper they dig into the records that could destroy both their houses, the harder it becomes to separate enemy from ally-and duty from desire. In a world where marriages are bargains and truth can be rewritten with ink and wax, Clara must decide whether the most dangerous risk is trusting Jakob... or discovering that what began as a forced promise might become something real. A forced betrothal historical romance becomes an enemies to lovers story in a castle, where a powerful lord and clever heroine discover that a political marriage can become real love. Surrounded by forbidden romance and family secrets, a medieval mystery with hidden documents draws them into danger-until a protective nobleman falls for the captive lady he was never meant to love.
