Some dreams are more powerful than even the Black Widow of Whitehall…

All Marianne wants is to provide a safe and happy childhood for her young son. Instead, danger stalks them both.
Following the death of her husband, suspicious events force her to flee to London. But gossip clings and the
ton will not accept a young woman labelled an adulteress, however unfair the allegations. With whispers—and strange men—following her wherever she goes, Marianne reluctantly accepts that she needs a male protector. Determined to secure her son’s future, she enlists the services of a renowned matchmaker.

Benedict is a soldier returned from France, with wounds both visible and invisible. He has long been the black sheep of his exalted family, but now his late grandmother has bequeathed him her country estate and with it the chance of the peace and privacy he longs for. However, he is in desperate need of funds and the lure of a big win in the Lyon’s Den is impossible to resist.

A marriage of convenience, decreed by Bessie Dove-Lyon, soon promises more, with sparks of attraction burning brightly between two individuals who had given up on love. But dark secrets and insecurities threaten the foundations of their fledgling relationship. And then a figure from the past steps from the shadows to stake his claim on Marianne’s future.

Will Benedict retreat from the battle ahead, or will he dare to dream?
