Kathleen E Woodiwiss returns with her long-awaited new novel, a bold and breathtaking tale of a beautiful noblewoman who is coveted by every high-born gentleman in the land . . . except the only man she could ever love.
For what seems like forever, Lady Adriana Sutton has adored Colton Wyndham, to whom she has been promised by an agreement of courtship and betrothal since childhood. As a young girl, she was wounded by Colton's stubborn refusal to comply with his father's wishes, and by his angry departure for a life of adventure and danger as an officer in the British army.
Now Lady Adriana has blossomed into an uncommon beauty desired by every eligible bachelor in the country - yet the only man she desires is the decorated hero who has finally come home to claim his rightful title.
Forced into a courtship with this stunning, spirited woman, the heroic heart that was once closed to Adriana is moved by her charm, her grace and her sensuality . . . but a secret from Colton's past and the treacherous schemes of a sinister rival may doom their burgeoning love . . .
