When a brazen act of cruelty occurs at his family estate, Anthony Carlyle is quick to act. A chivalrous act of compassion turns into a chance at redemption when Anthony offers Ada a way to return to public life... as his wife!

What begins as an arrangement of mutual convenience blossoms into more, catching everyone by surprise. But Ada's future with Anthony is threatened when a ghost from her past resurfaces, determined to claim Ada as his own.

Veronica thought she'd left the drama of high society behind when she remarried. But even in the Scottish highlands it appears her enemies can find her.

When Veronica discovers a sinister figure from her past has vengeance on his mind and will stop at nothing to exact his retribution, she hatches a daring plan. But Ada's unwitting entanglement complicates matters, putting both their lives at risk.
