What do you do when your first love returns from a hero's grave? Sophie Dawson has only ever loved one man. She has planned her marriage to Sam mason since childhood as though it were destined. When Sam is killed at Waterloo, Sophie swears she will never love again and looks onwards at spinsterhood with resignation. But now Sam is back, with a story Sophie can't quite believe, and an offer to make her dreams come true at last. Except her dreams have changed. And Lord Stanford offers a choice: marriage, or scandal. The Earl of Stanford has always been grateful for his friendships, especially the near brotherhood he has with disfigured war hero, Caleb Dawson - and the sisterly irritation of Sophie. So, when little sister finds herself in need of a temporary engagement to maintain her reputation, Stanford is more than happy to step in. In fact, the charade feels far too good... Now two stubborn souls must navigate the scrutiny of the Ton in the hopes of saving Sophie from scandal, and perhaps finding happiness together.
