A vengeful lord's mission to destroy becomes a quest to protect
the woman he cannot afford to love but cannot bear to lose…
Ian, Viscount Warrick, embarks on a journey fueled by vengeance, with sights set on the destruction of the woman he blames for his brother's tragic end. Yet, his cold resolve melts away upon meeting Evangeline Caruthers, whose soulful eyes and dignified strength reveal a woman of virtue, not vice. As Ian finds himself drawn to Evangeline against all reason, he faces a dilemma that threatens the very essence of his being: avenge his brother or protect the woman who has stolen his heart.
Evangeline Caruthers, a lady of Romani heritage, stands tall against the whispers and stares of the ton, her grace unyielding in the face of adversity. When Lord Warrick, with his menacing aura, vows her ruin, she braces for a battle of wills, only to find herself ensnared in a web of desire and deceit. Their forced marriage, meant to be a punishment, blossoms into a reluctant but fierce love, challenging everything they thought they knew about honor and passion.
Amidst the glittering balls and shadowy corners of Regency London, Ian and Evangeline navigate a world fraught with danger and betrayal. Their love, born of vengeance and defiance, becomes their greatest weapon against the forces that seek to tear them apart. As they fight for their future, they must answer the ultimate question: Can love truly conquer all, even the deepest of hatreds?
