About this ebook

Separated by a cruel annulment, two wounded lovers collide over a museum scandal that reignites their passion.

After a whirlwind affair and elopement with one of her father's officers, Lady Alexandra Marshall, daughter and sole heir of the Earl of Ware, watched helplessly as her husband was shipped off. An annulment followed, and though she waited with packed bags, Christopher never returned for her.

Devoting herself to ancient relics, Alexandra has built a quiet life among museum antiquities, only for a string of forged jewels in the vault to threaten her hard-won career.

Sir Christopher Donally is now a wealthy industrialist escorting his spirited younger sister through her Season. A secret bargain to catch the thief soon throws the former lovers into dangerous proximity.

As old desires ignite across crowded London ballrooms, the bitter secrets of their past refuse to stay buried. Now, 10 years later, she can't help but wonder if fate is giving them a second chance at love .

  • Forced Proximity: Guiding seventeen-year-old Brianna Donally through the intricacies of London high society obliges Alexandra to navigate Christopher’s stately manor and endure his maddeningly intimate scrutiny.
  • Race Against Time: Tracing the forged White Swan ruby into pawnshops and back-alley boxing dens is the only way to clear Alexandra’s name before the museum’s board discovers the vault’s missing treasures.
  • Slow Burn: Memories of their passionate Tangiers elopement collide with ten years of painful silence, turning every stolen glance and late-night confrontation into an explosive battle of wills.
  • Also by This Author: Beauty and the Duke, Must Have Been The Moonlight and Claimed By a Scottish Lord.

About the author

Melody Thomas is a wordsmith, a creator of dreams, and a passionate believer in happy endings.

Her fascination with historical romance began when, in her teens, she visited the Tower of London and learned that Henry the Eighth had beheaded two of his wives. This was great fodder for her teenage imagination and the start of a love affair with history, intrigue, and irresistible heroes.
