A romance that survives loss, lies, and treachery.
Ten years have passed since Emmeline Fitzpatrick tearfully debated which of two suitors to marry. She chose Mr. Aiden Fitzpatrick after the other gentleman, Andrew Hampton, unexpectedly withdrew his proposal. Four years later, Aiden died in a tragic hunting accident, and a heartbroken Emmeline vanished from London Society.

Now, with her cousin’s young widow under her care, Emmeline is thrust into another London Season—and face-to-face with the man she once might have chosen. Andrew Hampton, now the Fifth Duke of Blackstone and her late husband’s former best friend, has returned from the West Indies with lingering guilt over Aiden’s death and a heart still tethered to Emmeline.

At twenty-eight, Emmeline feels too old to attract a duke, especially one who meets her with nothing but aloofness and disdain. Yet old feelings don’t fade quietly, and a storm of longing brews between them—despite years of silence and heartbreak.
