To escape her past, she must risk everything—even her heart.

 

Katherine “Kitty” Hayes once had it all—beauty, status, and a wealthy banker husband. But behind closed doors, her marriage has become a nightmare of violence and control. When her husband is called away, Kitty seizes a narrow chance to flee Boston with her daughter, seeking refuge in her sister’s Scottish townhouse.

 

In hiding and assumed to be her twin—the Countess of Glenrothes—Kitty rediscovers parts of herself long buried. But her fragile anonymity is upended by the arrival of Jack Merrill, the Earl of Haddington, a charming but financially ruined bachelor hunting for a wealthy wife. Mistaking Kitty for her aristocratic sister, Jack is drawn in by her intelligence and spirit rather than her title or dowry.

 

As flirtation gives way to something deeper, both must confront their pasts. Kitty, still legally bound to a dangerous man, fears discovery. Jack, desperate to repair his family’s fortune, begins to question everything he thought he wanted.

 

With scandal looming and love at stake, Kitty must decide: stay hidden in safety, or fight openly for her freedom—and risk losing everything.

 

Rich in emotion and historical detail, A Question of Trust is a story of resilience, love, and the power of reclaiming one’s voice.
