A chance at redemption?

Handsome and fierce warrior Michael Avenel has been to hell and back
during the Peninsular War. Now paralysed from the waist down, he is convinced
his life is over until a desperate young woman comes to his door seeking
help one fateful night.

Beautiful Bryony Wells was forced to endure an abusive marriage at
the hands of a depraved husband for the sake of her sons. Now widowed,
with her eldest boy set to inherit their father’s property, she grows ever
more fearful for the children’s safety at the hands of her evil in-laws.

Fleeing from their family mansion to start a decent new life where
they can grow up happy and loved, she stumbles into Michael’s life…and
heart.

Working as his secretary, Bryony finds him a model employer, with his
mastery soon extending to her body and soul. For as their intimacy increases,
she is certain she is falling in love with her enigmatic employer, and
that her feelings might actually be returned.

With Bryony working by his side, Michael has a reason to try to recover
his health. The beginnings of hope that the woman he has come to love above
all else might actually be his for the asking.

But once he has Bryony, he will do anything to keep her, as Bryony’s
evil brother in law Derek will stop at nothing to secure the family fortunes
as his own.

Can Michael ever be the man Bryony needs him to be? Or will their love
become just another casualty of Michael’s dreadful long war he has fought
so hard for, and nearly died for?

Can Bryony ever escape the ghosts from her past, and through her love
for Michael, help him escape from his own?

Having refused to support her family by compromising her virtue with
Chauncey Howell, to whom Isolde had been engaged before her family lost
all their money, Howell decides to take revenge on her by sending Isolde unescorted
to the home of the Earl, the most prominent rake of the Ton. The
scandal is sure to ruin her, provoke a duel with his enemy Randall, and
drive Isolde into his own bed.

“I am mad, darling Isolde,” he said, taking her hand to kiss it once
more.� “Mad for you to be my wife, to give yourself to me in every
way. And to let me give myself to you the way I’ve never given myself to
any woman.”

Randall reached for her waist now, but she suddenly grew fearful of
the raving passion that tore through her with his slightest touch.

“This is too much,” she said, cowering away from his questing hands.
“Please. Just let me go. I want to go home to Surrey.”

His face fell. “I can’t be responsible for your ruin like this.”

“You aren’t. Howell will be if he bruits it about. But you cannot be
given a life sentence for a crime you did not commit.”

“What if I want to be prisoner to your charms, Isolde, without any
hope of parole?”

“Please, Randall, this is no laughing matter, and I would not want
you condemned to a life of misery.”

“But what if that’s all I deserve?” he said under his breath.

She stared at him now, stunned. “You want to punish yourself by marrying
me? What on earth-”

He reached for her with desperate eagerness, desire shining in his
lapis blue eyes. “No! No, not at all. I want and need you. I would be lost
if you walked out that door now without giving me a chance to redeem myself.”

Randall Avenel the Earl of Hazelmere and Isolde Drake have married in haste to save her from scandal, but a happy future together is far from certain as Isolde discovers the shocking truth about Randall’s past.
