**Intact Gift Giving Condition book**

Her mission is singular: reach the Duke’s silent, shattered niece. Scars run deeper than skin, but some secrets leave wounds that refuse to heal… Miss Liliana Wakefield rides into storm‑lashed Thornvale Abbey armed with wit, steel independence, and a vow never to bow to the aristocracy that ruined her family. She expects a cruel, distant guardian. Instead she finds him, Thaddeus Stanhope: the “Beast of Thornvale,” a man walled behind fire‑ravaged scars and a grief that’s eating him alive.
