Publisher's Synopsis
Fans of Netflix's Bridgerton series will love this captivating second chance story-from the series that delivers "both emotional intensity and lush sensuality, and vivacious writing enhanced by ample measures of wit." (Booklist, Starred Review)
Society darling Lady Georgiana Arlington spent years crafting her image as the ideal wife, but since her husband's unexpected death, she has lived mostly for herself while making desperately needed improvements to the businesses she inherited----and gaining a mysterious enemy in the process. With few people she can trust, Georgiana must rely on Captain Henry Harris, a former fortune-hunter turned private investigator who once claimed to love the woman beneath her carefully polished veneer. Time and experience have left a heavy mark on the dashing young officer she used to know, but she finds herself even more drawn to the dark and complicated man he has become.
When Captain Harris left London eight years ago, he was heartbroken and nearly penniless. Now he has returned as a decorated naval hero with everything he could ever want. Everything except Lady Georgiana... As a careless young woman, she once shredded his heart when she married another man. But now she is as alluring as ever, with a newfound tenacity he can't help but admire. And the more he uncovers, the more nothing is as it seems, especially the woman he once swore to hate forever.
