On a starlit night, everything changes when Gideon Lennox drops to one knee before Miranda Dashnell. She is the perfect bride, and they are convinced that love will come with the closeness of marriage. But attraction hits them hard, and as one kiss leads to another, they’re a runaway train of desire and feelings that neither of them are quite ready for. As they approach their wedding day, Gideon falters, leading to broken trust, hurt and confusion, and public humiliation. A promise is a promise, however, particularly in the eyes of high society, and the end of the aisle awaits, leaving the newly minted Earl and Countess of Kensington in a precarious place to start their union. Gideon fights to win back the fragile trust that was broken between them, and Miranda grapples with her own internal beliefs, desires, and ultimate fears about her husband, and about herself.
In this intense, heartbreakingly beautiful second chance romance, two people learn what love really means once it has been tested, tried, and hard-won.
