She bit a viscount. In her defense, he kissed her first.
Nell Ashford is a widow, a baker, and a woman with secrets buried so deep she’s almost forgotten they exist. She has her shop, her two children, and a life she clawed out of nothing. She does not need a scarred, arrogant aristocrat tracking rain into her bakery and looking at her like she’s something more than flour and stubbornness.
Lord Dominic Harlowe came home from Waterloo with a scar that splits his face from temple to jaw and no patience for pity. He didn’t return to Hampshire to fall for a sharp-tongued baker who refuses his money, ignores his title, and treats his scar like it means nothing at all.
He keeps coming back. She keeps letting him.
But Nell’s past isn’t as dead as she believes. She has buried things that were never meant to stay buried — and when the truth claws its way back, it threatens to destroy her shop, her children, and the man she never meant to love.
She survived one dangerous man. She’s falling for another.
