She's only ever wanted one thing... Lady Isabella Resenfeld thought she'd found happiness with Lord Wistenberry, but when she's abandoned two days after their wedding, her hopes are crushed, her youthful fantasies destroyed. She tries to find a way to come back to the surface, refusing to become a jaded bride, but on the journey to rediscovering herself, she never expected to be drawn to a man who is completely wrong for her, but who also makes her heart pound with longing. As the horror of the man she married finally comes to light, is it even possible to truly entrust her love to another again? He yearns to fulfill the longings of her heart. Ridge Claymoore was born a common bastard. Raised in a brothel, he's always craved something...more. The life of a spy runs through his veins, but even that has started to become stale and unfulfilling. When he's tasked with securing Isabella's welfare, he faces, not only his immediate attraction to the copper-haired beauty, but his own growing restlessness. As intrigue and danger surround them, he has to decide if what he feels is strong enough to call love—or something even deeper.
