He was running from his darkest desires. She turned out the lights and took him to bed.
After eight years of abuse, Margaret Davies flees to the only person she can trust: her former tormentor's wife. Beaten and broken, she is found by Edwin Giles, a man who has spent his life watching women be discarded and is determined to see her safe.
Escaping to Canterbury, a series of misunderstandings forces them into a façade that feels dangerously like reality: a cottage, a career, and a family. But as Margaret finds her strength, Edwin finds himself battling a desire he fears makes him just as monstrous as the men he despises. Margaret doesn't want his restraint—she wants his passion, kink and all.
Just as they begin to navigate their new intimacy, a scandalous court case in London threatens to unmask Margaret. If her past is revealed, it won't just ruin her reputation—it will destroy the respectable life Edwin has fought to build.
One can only outrun a shadow for so long. Can love heal their scars, or will the darkness of London reclaim them both?
