Lady Luciana Alden lives a perfect life.
Raised by doting parents and with a handsome suitor about to ask for her hand, she has everything she ever wanted. Until the day her father announces that she is to marry a stranger.
Gideon Merriweather, the Marquess of Ambergrave, has searched far and wide for a reprieve from his pain. Heartbroken after his parents’ unfair death, there is but a single cure: vengeance. Vengeance that starts with marrying Lady Luciana.
While striving to accept their fate, they cannot escape their luxuriating emotions.
An uninvited visitor and an old envelope with an unbroken seal open Luciana’s eyes to a lifelong lie, forcing her to make a difficult decision. She must leave Gideon to save them both from a fate worse than death.
