Can a young woman’s love bring a grieving recluse back into the world?
Georgian England
When Verity Lambourn befriends two lost children, her actions set in motion a surprising chain of events that’s destined to change her life forever.
Furious with the children’s father — but having no idea that he is Henry, Marquis of Salmesbury — she berates him soundly.
A brooding recluse who is haunted by the past, the marquis has shut himself away from the world — and from his own children. But he is brought up short by Verity’s scolding — and is soon captivated by the feisty young woman.
And when Verity knocks Henry flying, she’s forced to realise she’s tumbling headlong into love. But to stand a chance of winning his heart, she must confront the shadows of his tragic past…
Is Verity’s love enough to test the truth of a mysterious prophecy? Can Henry forget the past and embrace life again in the present?
And can Verity save the day when a terrible event threatens to destroy the Salmesburys’ lives forever?
