However, one stolen moment with the formidable Earl of Goldenridge hands society its scandal and binds her to a man convinced she trapped him. Wed out of duty and abandoned in London, Adele resigns herself to a marriage in name only. Then word arrives that his sister is dying, and she travels north to nurse a family that never wanted her…
Shadrack Gale returns home braced for the fortune hunter he married, only to find the wife he abandoned nursing his dying sister and coaxing his grief-stricken niece out of her shell. Clever and courageous, nothing like the woman he imagined, Adele unravels his every certainty. As the lonely child pulls them together, the distance between them begins to dangerously close…
Just as affection takes root, old ghosts appear.

Shadrack must choose: cling to his pride, or trust the woman who has become the heart of his home. Can a marriage born in scandal survive the truth… or will the past destroy them both?
