He never forgot her…or the way she ruined him.

Dorian Poole, Marquess of Kempton, has spent years cultivating the wicked reputation Society so eagerly handed him. Once, he’d been viewed as an honorable young man with promise—until Amelia Alvin shattered his heart, broke their betrothal, and left his name in ruins. If the world insisted he was a rake, then a rake he would be.

Now fate—or perhaps temptation—delivers him straight to her door.

Amelia never expected to see Dorian again. Not after the scandal. Not after the heartbreak. Not after she rebuilt her shattered confidence with a respectable marriage, a son, and a carefully guarded heart. She carved out a life for herself as the Dowager Countess of Coylton. But when the man she once loved arrives at her Scottish estate, older, darker, and dangerously irresistible, the past refuses to stay buried.

Stuck together beneath one roof, resentment simmers…and desire burns hotter than ever.

Dorian intends to confront Amelia, to make her understand the devastation she caused—and to finally rid himself of the hold she has always had over him. But Amelia is no longer the naive girl he once knew, and every stolen glance, every heated exchange, threatens to unravel them both.

Because some betrayals cut too deeply to forgive…

…and some passions are far too powerful to deny.
