A Love Reclaimed

Five years ago, Isabelle was driven from her husband's home in disgrace.

Accused of adultery by a jealous rival, abandoned by her husband's family, and cast out before she could tell Paul she carried his child, she has spent five years in exile—surviving on the charity of Paul's aunt, raising their son alone, and trying to forget the man who never came back for her.

Now Paul has returned from the Peninsular War to find himself Duke of Norchester—and haunted by the wife he left behind. His mother wants him to divorce Isabelle and marry someone "suitable." Society has all but forgotten the disgraced duchess. And Paul has spent five years telling himself there was nothing he could have done.

He was wrong.

When he discovers the truth—that his wife was innocent, that the accusation was fabricated by a woman scorned, and that he has a four-year-old son he never knew existed—Paul is determined to make things right. But Isabelle is no longer the trusting girl he married. She has learned to survive without him, and she's not certain she wants him back.

To reclaim his wife, Paul must do more than clear her name. He must court her all over again—earning her trust one small kindness at a time, protecting her from enemies who will stop at nothing to keep the truth buried, and proving that he's no longer the coward who left her to face the wolves alone.

Some love stories begin with a meeting. Theirs begins with a reckoning.

A story of second chances, hard-won forgiveness, and a love that refuses to stay buried.
