He crossed half the world for a woman who swore she'd never love again.

Felix Ashcroft, London's most desirable rake, has always been chased by women. But when he meets Aveline d’Alarie, the pious daughter of a French diplomat, his world is turned upside down. Determined to win her heart, he's met with a challenge like no other.

Aveline, abandoned by her former betrothed, has devoted herself solely to God. Yet, a deep connection with Felix ignites something she thought long extinguished. But when her family is transferred to Algeria and her father forbids any contact, fate seems determined to keep them apart.

Unwilling to let her go, Felix makes a bold choice: he joins the French Foreign Legion to follow her to Algeria. In the wild, barren desert, their paths cross once more, leading them on an adventure neither expected.

As dangers loom and passions flare, Aveline faces an impossible decision. Will she break her vow and risk everything for love, or will she let duty and fear keep her from the man who crossed the world for her?

Their destiny awaits in the sands of Algeria—but will they seize it before it's too late?
