Eleanor Whitcombe thought widowhood would free her from the misery of her marriage, but her troubles only deepen when she discovers the crushing debts her husband left behind. She vows not to depend on any man again, least of all her childhood friend, whose kindness would only fuel society’s scorn and threaten the fragile walls she has built around her heart.

Henry Ashford, Duke of Pembroke, has loved the fiery Eleanor since the carefree days of their youth. Believing he was doing right by letting her choose another life, he has lived with regret ever since. Now, seeing her fight alone against ruin, Henry resolves to stand by her, no matter how fiercely she resists or how deeply the past has wounded them both.

When their long-buried love rekindles with a tenderness neither expected, it offers a glimpse of the future they once dreamed of as children. Yet, with danger tightening its hold and secrets rising to the surface, both must confront the past they lost and the future neither dares to hope for, before it slips away again.
