When four London seasons fail to find her a suitable match,
Alcyone Carter does the unthinkable and treks across Europe
to marry a foreign nobleman she's never met. But on her
wedding night, she discovers her handsome, enigmatic
husband is not the man he claimed to be. Rather than live a
lie, she escapes his estate into the darkness. But her
husband-ignited by his desire and pride-risks everything to
follow her from the depths of the Romanian forests into the
decadent heart of Istanbul, where they're forced to
confront the sensual passion they've discovered-and the
dire threat that could cost them both their lives.
