When Fenella's crumbling marriage threatens everything she holds dear, she swallows years of hurt and seeks out the one man who broke her heart at fifteen—the powerful Lord Oswald Vawdrey, now a force to be reckoned with at court. What she doesn't expect is that the charming boy who jilted her has transformed into something far more intriguing, and he's absolutely determined to keep her divorce moving forward (for reasons all his own). As Fenella finds herself trapped in Oswald's calculated web, she begins to uncover hidden depths beneath his cold exterior and realizes that perhaps their story never truly ended. This sweeping medieval romance is brimming with second-chance tension, secrets, and the delicious possibility that sometimes the person who hurt us most is exactly who we need.
