Fics like What Lies Beneath

Ever since Cecily Herondale's brother eloped with a common woman, she has become the main guarantor for the continuance of the Herondale Estate, and her parents quickly wed her far above their station to a husband from the upper echelons of nobility. But it's always the servants that let what ought to be tightly-kept secrets loose. The murmurs do not escape her ears, nor the pitying glances—apparently her husband has only agreed to marry her to produce an heir to the Herondale Estate and then... dispose of her discretely, allowing him to make a more advantageous match and deftly claim the Herondale property as his own. So Cecily forges a crossroads where there should only be a single dusty path and sets out on her own, accompanied by a masked figure who refuses to reveal his face but agrees to help her find her brother. As they travel together, what seems to be budding respect and trust is restrained by the unspeakable secrets between them. Pursued by her husband's soldiers, growing dangerously close with a stranger, and carving out a space for herself in a man's world, Cecily must reckon with who she is expected to be, who she pretends to be, and who she truly is.
