Synopsis

Gifted pianist Valentine Windham, youngest son of the duke of Moreland, has little interest in his father's obsession to see his sons married, and instead pours passion into his music. But when Val loses his music, he flees to the country, alone and tormented by what has been robbed from him.

Grieving Ellen Markham has hidden herself away, looking for safety in solitude. Her curious new neighbor offers a kindred lonely soul whose desperation is matched only by his desire, but Ellen's devastating secret could be the one thing that destroys them both.

Together they'll find that there's no rescue from the past, but sometimes losing everything can help you find what you need most.

Contains mature themes.

What I love the most about Ms. Burrowes work is that she has a unique ability to take a reader into another world from the first pages.
