AmazonA year ago, David, Earl of Hampshire, made Lady Nora a promise. A week later, he was betrothed to another woman and gone from London before Nora could ask him why.
Now he has returned for the Season, still bound by that betrothal — and shadowed by questions he is only beginning to ask. A stranger has emerged from the shadows of his family’s past with demands David does not understand, and the closer he comes to the truth, the more he begins to fear what he may yet uncover.
When circumstance throws Nora into his confidence, she must decide what she is willing to risk for a man she has every reason to distrust — and for a truth she may not be ready to hear.
Will Nora trust the man who broke her heart? Will David find the courage to undo what honour required of him? The truth between them is closer — and more dangerous — than either has dared to hope.
