When a powerful man returns to claim vengeance against the woman who once broke his heart, he's unprepared for the electric magic that still crackles between them—or for the devastating truth about why she really let him go. Years ago, John McKenna and Lady Aline Marsden defied society for a love that seemed worth any price, until their secret was exposed and he was forced to leave her behind. Now, as McKenna searches for answers, he discovers that Aline's greatest sacrifice was one he never knew she made, and suddenly his quest for revenge transforms into something far more powerful. Perfect for readers who believe that some loves are simply too extraordinary to stay broken, this second-chance romance proves that destiny has a way of bringing soulmates back together when they matter most.
