Description

Victor Cale never expected his gentle, shy bride, Isabella, to be the woman behind a talent for creating exquisite imitation jewels—or to have a past that could upend everything he thought he knew. When Victor is sent to Edinburgh to investigate a troubling connection between a young man and a woman tied to his family’s concerns, the search pulls him toward the secrets Isabella has kept hidden for years. As the truth of their shared history comes into focus, their volatile passion flares again, forcing them to confront what they’ve lost—and what they’re willing to risk to protect the future. Blending Regency-era romance with intrigue, deception, and second-chance longing, this story explores trust, reinvention, and the dangerous allure of secrets that refuse to stay buried.
