A spurned woman rejects her lifelong pursuit for a lion heir's claim.
Fifteen years and ninety-nine proposals culminate in a bonding ceremony where Grant abandons Sloane in ceremonial dress from dawn to dusk to tend a steward's daughter's injured puppy. That slight ends her devotion. She summons Rowan, a formidable lion heir who once courted her, and he reaches Bond Hall before its deadline to claim her as mate. The reversal crystallizes when Grant later insists no other man could want her, only for Rowan to appear at Hartwell Manor and declare himself her chosen partner.
