Angus, the Marquess of Westland, has spent his life keeping the world at arm’s length. Haunted by a dark past he refuses to speak of, he has made one unbreakable vow: never love, never risk, never fall.
But when Miss Sylvie Mason quite literally collides with him in a secret garden, the resulting scandal leaves him only two choices - marry the infuriatingly cheerful young woman… or see both their reputations ruined.
Sylvie, determined to make the best of their unfortunate situation, unsettles him in ways he could never have imagined. Her kindness is disarming, yet her curiosity threatens to unearth secrets best left buried.
As desire stirs and danger edges closer, Angus must face the one question he fears most:
Is this warm, charming young woman his destruction… or his salvation?
Genre: Romantic Suspense
