Scorned & Craved: The Frenchman's Lionhearted Wife

By Bree Wolf

She was born to wilt in safety. She chooses to bloom in risk. Lady Juliet Edwards has lived her life hemmed in-by duty, by propriety, by fear. One stolen kiss from French privateer Henri Duret awakened something too fierce to bury: a desire for more. Though he made it clear his heart was not hers to have, Juliet cannot forget the spark. And hiding from love, she realizes, might hurt more than risking it.

He's fearless at sea. But what lies beneath terrifies him. Henri sails boldly, lives freely, and fears nothing-except vulnerability. Ever since love wrecked his father, Henri has held his heart at arm's length. But Juliet's courage and quiet yearning haunt him more than cannon fire ever could. And when she's taken prisoner on the water, the choice is no longer abstract: run, or risk everything.

Sometimes love doesn't wait for permission. It demands pursuit. As Juliet finds strength she didn't know she had, Henri must learn that protecting oneself from pain can also mean shielding oneself from joy. What began with a kiss becomes a battle-not against war or enemies, but against the fear that says love is not worth the risk.

She stepped into the unknown to be free. He'll cross oceans to meet her there.
