Now, he finds himself back in London and still as enamoured with Lady Atwood as he had been a decade before. Common sense told him that he could not hope to make Katherine his bride, not when she could not provide him with heirs, but when the pair accidentally become embroiled in scandal, Michael seizes the chance to make Katherine his bride. As the pair try to mend the hurts of their past, Michael comes to realise that he is not the only one who has spent a decade at war. Can he help Katherine heal, or is she too broken to love again?
