Years ago, Regine chose duty over love—leaving behind her first and only sweetheart to marry a titled stranger who secured her family’s future. Now widowed and determined to reclaim her independence, the Duchess of Heartwaite returns to England ready to start again. But one unexpected glimpse of the man she left behind reminds her just how deeply she once loved him… and how much she still does.
James Brentwood has never forgotten the pain of Regine’s betrayal. The solicitor has buried himself in work, vowing never to risk his heart again. But when the woman who shattered him reappears, all his carefully built defenses begin to crack. She’s still the one woman who tempts him to dream—and the one he can never trust.
When scandal and sabotage threaten Regine’s reputation and safety, James steps in to shield her from ruin. But protection soon leads to rekindled passion, and long-buried feelings demand to be acknowledged. Can they risk their hearts once more… or will the wounds of the past prove too deep to heal?
