About this book

Once and Always When orphaned Victoria Seaton arrives in England seeking refuge with a distant cousin, she finds herself face-to-face with the darkly compelling Lord Jason Fielding—a man whose arrogance masks deep wounds and smoldering secrets. Their chemistry is undeniable, igniting into a passionate whirlwind that leads to marriage and a love so fierce it seems unshakeable. But as Victoria discovers hidden truths about how they came together, she's forced to navigate whether their connection can survive the deception that brought them to the altar. This is McNaught at her finest—a sweeping, emotionally rich romance about passion, trust, and whether love truly conquers all.
