Once they were friends.

Then they were more.

Now they are nothing.

Chauncey Bennett, The Duke of St. Clara, has known friendship and love only once until it slipped away. Now, in desperate need of a wife to gain his inheritance in order to pay his gambling debt, St. Clara turns to the only person he ever cared for. Miss Pippa Price. Will St. Clara allow the sins of the past to consume his present or will he fight for the woman he’s always loved?

Pippa Price has lost several things in her twenty-six years: her parents, her home, and the only man she ever trusted with her heart. Willing to sacrifice her freedom to save her aunt from ruin, she agrees to marry a man twice her age. But when her fiancé’s cruelty becomes unbearable, Pippa has nowhere to turn except into the arms of the man who shattered her heart nine years earlier: the Duke of St. Clara.

As their past collides with their present, St. Clara and Pippa must confront lies orchestrated by others or risk being torn apart again. Will they allow the past to dictate their future, or will they conquer it, together?
