More DescriptionMarcus married Corinna with the best of intentions—to protect her should anything happen to her brother while serving in India. That she is underage is but a small footnote in his family’s long history of scandal. News that his wife has died in a carriage accident stabs him with regret, but with no reason to question the report, he extends his stay until another near-scandal brings him home. Alone in the world after her parents’ deaths, despised by her family, Corinna is in hiding. Unwanted even by the husband who seems to have forgotten her. When she discovers her temporary governess position is in the home of Marcus’ brother, she holds out a secret hope that she will at last learn his whereabouts. When wife and erstwhile husband meet again, it is as strangers. Fragile sparks of attraction flicker to life, but the past threatens to overshadow any possibility of happiness. Especially when it becomes clear that someone in her family still wishes her dead.
