Jaded Moon

In St. Stephen’s Hollow, Ross Bennett, the Marquess of Rainforth, arrives with a heart hardened by his past. His intention is clear: he seeks solitude rather than companionship, preferring to remain detached from the world around him. However, the quaint village and its vibrant community have a way of unraveling even the most resolute of intentions. As Ross navigates the unexpected warmth of the locals, he is drawn into their lives, forcing him to confront the jaded perceptions he harbors about friendship and connection.

Life in the village offers more than he bargained for, as he encounters a spirited woman determined to pierce through his stoic façade. The bonds he hesitated to forge begin to take root, challenging his notions of vulnerability and trust. As the moonlight casts its soft glow over the hollow, Ross must grapple with his buried emotions and the possibility that opening his heart could lead to a greater fulfillment than he ever imagined.
