Time passes. In London, his uncle and cousin move into his home … while his unofficial fiancée, Sophia, is left desolate and in limbo.
Finally, his friends – loyal and close as brothers – set out to search in person, determined to find him and bring him home.
Christian’s startling re-appearance at a grand ball hosted by his uncle, takes society by storm and fuels endless speculation.
Where has he been during these three missing years?
What happened to him? And more importantly, how did it happen?
Only one thing is clear.
The earl who left England five years ago, has returned a changed man.
A man with secrets.
