Her brother forbade the match. Her heart never obeyed. Lady Clara Frankton ended her engagement to the Earl of Rutland without explanation—and lost the only man she ever loved. Her brother, the Marquess of Tyrone, forbade the match and refused to say why. Clara obeyed. But she never stopped loving Josiah—and never stopped wondering what her brother was hiding. Now the London Season has thrown them together again. Josiah is colder. More guarded. And far less willing to trust the woman who broke his heart. Clara is done accepting silence. When troubling clues begin to emerge, she realizes her family has been hiding something far more dangerous than she imagined. As Clara and Josiah search for answers, old feelings awaken—and the truth may be the only thing that can bring them back together. A clean Regency romance featuring second chances, forbidden love, and a wounded earl who never forgot her.
