She built a new life from the ashes of her ruin. Now the man who destroyed her wants her back.

Three years ago, Julian Vane, Duke of Rothburn, stood before all of London and cast his wife aside. He called her barren. He sent her away with nothing but a crumbling dower house and a broken heart.

Lady Rosalind Ashcombe never stopped being his wife. Not in the eyes of the law. Not in the eyes of the gossiping ton. But she stopped being his wife in every way that mattered the day he chose his pride over her love.

Now Rosalind is no longer the broken bride he left behind. She has rebuilt herself, stone by stone, into a woman who answers to no one. She runs her own estate. She commands her own household. And she has found something she never thought she'd feel again in the arms of her devoted steward, Edmund Thorne.

Then tragedy strikes the House of Rothburn, and Julian has no choice but to come for her.

He needs an heir. He needs his wife. And when he arrives at her door, he discovers the woman he threw away has become someone he can no longer command... only someone he must earn.

As secrets from Julian's past unravel, and a dangerous rival circles the dukedom like a vulture waiting to strike, Rosalind is forced to face the truth about the husband who ruined her, the man who healed her, and the love that could destroy them both.

At a masquerade ball meant to force her hand before all of society, Julian will risk everything to prove his devotion. But Rosalind has learned the hardest lesson of all.

She doesn't have to choose between two men.

She only has to choose herself.

A gripping, emotional Regency romance of forbidden love, aristocratic betrayal, and the redemption power of a woman who refuses to be discarded twice.

Perfect for fans of second chance romance, marriage of convenience romance, enemies to lovers, and Regency era love triangles.
