Five years ago, Lord Henry left Lady Emmaline alone to face society's scorn after the two were found in a compromising position. Now Henry has returned to London as the Duke of Salle, determined to win back the woman he never forgot.
Lady Emmaline believes herself to be happy as a resigned spinster. Though her days are no longer filled with callers and balls, she has found her place in society and has no interest in romance. Her vow to withstand Henry's renewed advances slowly crumbles, however, under his persistent and unwavering charm.
Finally, they believe, the ghosts of their past have been banished. That is until a new scandal threatens to separate them. This time, forever.
