On her wedding night, Lady Madeline Whitcombe is abducted by a terrifying stranger. After being brought to a house deep in the middle of a dark forest, she will find out she is being held captive by a malicious woman, who is willing to go to great lengths for revenge… But when a charming heir gets lost in the woods, the hopes of her rescue come alive. Will he manage to read between the lines and understand what a great danger she is into? And if so, will he dare risk even his life to save her? Lord Peter Lytton is the future Duke; a title he doesn’t really crave. His father’s urge to find a woman to marry doesn’t really appeal to him, while he prefers chasing new adventures riding his horse, feeling free and untamed. He will have to reconsider his beliefs though, when he meets an enigmatic maid in a hidden house deep in the woods, with a peculiar aristocratic behaviour. Will he solve the mystery behind her desperate glance and keep her from landing herself in harm’s way once again? Fate brings Peter in Madeline’s life but she will have to inevitably leave his side sooner than she expected. Madeline is already betrothed to another man and her rescue is just the beginning... When the situation gets more and more complicated, she will have to choose. Will she reconcile with her former fiancé or will she listen to her heart telling her there is something dreamy in her chemistry with her saviour she just can’t neglect?
