He’s haunted by the past. She’s ready to reclaim her future. Together, they’ll rediscover a love neither could forget…

Marjorie Merryweather has always been the quiet wallflower, content to hide in the shadows of society. But after a scheming viscount steals her novel and threatens her livelihood, Marjorie takes refuge with the one man she thought she’d never see again—the Duke of Abinger.

Once her closest friend, Alfred Lockhart has withdrawn from the world after a tragic accident left him battling his own demons. But Marjorie’s return stirs a longing he’s harbored for years—feelings he’s kept hidden, even from himself.

In the quiet solitude of his estate, old feelings reignite. Alfie has never stopped loving Marjorie, and as their connection deepens, she begins to realize that her feelings for him run deeper than friendship. But as passion flares, so do the ghosts of the past. Marjorie must decide if her heart can risk falling for the man she’s always trusted, and Alfie must confront whether he can truly be the man she deserves.
