***** FREE ON KINDLE UNLIMITED *****

Drummond St. John, Earl of Hungerwood, never expected to bear the title. When he took on his brother’s dishonor, in a matter associated with a duel more than six years past, he expected never to set foot in England again. Yet now both his father and brother are gone, and the title falls to him - with all the weight of responsibility, and the need to face society’s disapprobation in the ballrooms of London. He doubts that he will ever be able to restore his, and his family’s, honour, but he must try.

Marion Stafford, Countess of Scartwick, has avoided society for some years. Commoner born, she was never comfortable there, even once she married an Earl. The circumstances around her husband’s terrible death in a duel made her hide herself and her child in the country. But the time has come to allow herself to be seen, for the sake of her son’s future – even if it means facing those who most threatened her in the past.

It was the same fateful duel which changed both of their lives – and now, they will come face to face, two people with every reason to be enemies. But the moment that they meet, it is obvious that neither is what the other expected, in any way.

Can they overcome old hurts and lies to find the truth together? Will an enemy from the past threaten Marion and her child’s future? Can Drummond save her child? And can the tangle of past deceits be undone, and his honour restored, or is their growing love doomed?
