When he meets the veiled woman, he’s bewitched by her ethereal appearance, and they forge a tentative friendship. The discovery of more debts and fraud lands Ben in further difficulties that spiral out of control, and Lady Wickstead makes him an offer, one that would test his self-control.
Lady Augusta Wickstead, tired of London, travels to her new estate hoping for clean air, space and peace. And though she finds it, she still feels caged. The scars of her past and those on her face cause rumours and gossip wherever she goes. Mr Ashby ignites the hidden parts of Augusta, making her want things she vowed to never have, but when she’s the only person who can save him and his family, Augusta risks everything and offers him a deal; marriage.
With his vow of never touching her lying between their burgeoning relationship, the binds and limits of Augusta’s new-found world are tested to the limit.
