説明
She was his sister’s dearest friend and his greatest regret.
For years, Julien Harcourt did what honor required. Certain there would be time, he stepped aside and allowed Caroline Ashworth the freedom of her Season—never imagining another man would seize the place he meant to claim.
He was wrong.
Six years of promises have ended in quiet humiliation. Cast aside for another woman—one who has long traded in whispers and carefully placed gossip—Caroline has become the subject of society’s amusement rather than its admiration. The future she once believed secure is now a cautionary tale told behind fans and over teacups.
Julien will not make the same mistake twice.
What begins as protection quickly becomes something far more dangerous—long-buried desire sharpened by regret, and a connection neither of them can deny. This time, he will not stand aside while others dictate her fate.
But the past does not release its hold so easily. Secrets, ambition, and the ruthless pursuit of advantage have set events in motion that cannot easily be undone, and the very scandal that destroyed one future may yet threaten another.
His honor and restraint once cost him everything.
Now another man’s dishonor has given him a second chance—
a chance at the happiness they both deserve.
