Twelve years ago Michael betrayed his brother and his honor for the love of a woman who played him false. After promising to marry him, she eloped with another man. Now she’s back. More beautiful than ever, stirring old feelings he thought he'd buried forever. He’d be a fool to trust her, but the heart knows what it wants.
Lady Josephine has returned to England, but that doesn’t mean she’s home. How can she begin to rebuild her life when she has spent the last 12 years as a prisoner in a harem, after being kidnapped from her own home? She will never be accepted by polite society, but she would do anything to protect her infant nephew. Even if it means joining forces with the child’s other guardian. The Duke of Aycliffe. Michael. The man she has never stopped loving. The man she could never have.
As they uncover the cruel deception that tore them apart, Michael is determined to reclaim the love they lost. But Josephine’s scars run deep, and she’s convinced she can never be the wife he needs. Yet, with fate giving them a second chance, this time Michael will stop at nothing to win the woman he’s always loved.
