Branded by tragedy and whispered scandal he lives in the shadows of a society that believes he murdered his own family to claim the barony. Solitude has become his armor-until a fiercely clever woman storms into his life and sees past the rumors to the wounded soul beneath. But desire is dangerous and Caspian can't afford to lose control... not again.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Corinna has long accepted her likely fate as a spinster. Far more interested in ancient languages and architectural ruins than courtship or fashion she's content to live life on her own terms. She's grown weary of suitors who value beauty over intellect and she's never been tempted to abandon her independence-until her path collides with the brooding and infamous Baron Strathmore. He's everything she shouldn't want-distant damaged and dangerous-but everything her heart yearns for. Logic tells her to walk away. But logic never made her pulse race like this...</span></p><p></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Their worlds couldn't be more different.

Yet the pull between them is undeniable-fiery fated and utterly forbidden. As whispers swirl and past wounds reopen both must choose: retreat behind the safety of solitude or risk everything for a chance at love neither dared hope for.</span></p><p></p>
