Driven to despair by her husband’s endless abuse and
ridicule, Lucinda, Lady Denbigh, can endure no more. With
no one to turn to, she flees London to take quiet refuge
in the countryside, determined to build a new life of her
own. Posing as a widow, she finds a small cottage to lease
on the far reaches of a vast estate, relieved that she
might finally find peace and safety—until her new
landlord, the strikingly handsome and taciturn Lord Hugo
Wanstead, presents an entirely different kind of threat to
her composure.
Just back from the wars, Hugo is tormented by the physical
and emotional scars that mark him. With his estate near
financial ruin and his sleep torn by nightmares, he wishes
only to be left in solitude. But when he meets the new
widowed tenant on his estate, he finds her hauntingly
beautiful in body and soul—and finds himself overcome by
powerful sensual longing.
While the gentle Lucinda conjures up ways to draw the
handsome and hurting Hugo out of his loneliness, he’s
intrigued by her courage and her lively mind. But just as
an inevitable passion stirs between these two damaged
souls, a damning secret about Lucinda’s troubled past will
be laid bare, and they will be forced to confront each
other and a cruel foe to save their only chance at love.
