The Duke of Dalton’s world was shattered when his wife was lost at sea. Now, years later, he finds her just as she’s about to marry another man. She might still be his wife under the law—and in his heart—but she has no memory of their love…or of him.
Vivienne yearns to uncover her past as fiercely as she dreads it. When the man from her nightmares appears, claiming to be her husband, the safe haven where she has retreated vanishes. His voice, his scent, the heat of his gaze, awaken something achingly familiar, luring her to him. But how can she trust this forbidding stranger when she doesn’t even know her own mind?
Dalton would do anything for his wife. Does that include letting her go if that’s what’s best for her? Her wary eyes and gentle distance despite his efforts to win her back cut deeper than any knife. Can he make the woman he adores fall in love with him again?
She may have forgotten their vows—but he’s never stopped keeping them.
