Evelyn Waugh Novel 1942

Evelyn thought marriage was meant to be built on love, trust, and promises that last forever. But for Adrian, it was nothing more than a business arrangement — a convenient merger between two powerful families. She gave him her heart, he gave her his name… and then broke every vow he made. Cold, distant, and consumed by secrets, Adrian never expected Evelyn’s quiet strength to challenge his walls — or his guilt. But when betrayal tears them further apart, Evelyn must decide whether to fight for a man who never truly loved her… or finally walk away with her dignity intact. In a world where love feels like a luxury and loyalty comes with a price, can broken vows ever lead to redemption?
