A gentleman with a past, and a society Miss who is firmly on the shelf.

After his fathers death, Ramsey Hellion returns to England to escape the hell of his past. But the moment he meets Miss Flora Thomas, his carefully constructed world unravels. Beautiful, and fiercely independent, Flora wants nothing to do with him. But Ramsey has always enjoyed a challenge—and Flora’s disdain only fuels his pursuit.

When the sins of his father catch up with him, Ram realizes he needs more than just Flora’s love—he needs her to save him from the darkness that still haunts him.

Flora has little patience for handsome men, and Ramsey Hellion is one who believes he should receive universal adoration. She knows first hand the cost of being controlled by a man—she’s lived it. But when danger returns to Ramsey’s life, she has no choice but to act. Even though she’s fought against it, Flora realizes that a life without Ramsey Hellion is one she’s unwilling to face.

Can Ramsey Hellion accept help from the intriguing Miss Flora Thomas to unlock the secret of his past?
