What if the love of your life rejected you to protect you-and you refused to let that be the end?
Lady Evaline Everly has spent two seasons dazzling the ton, but when the one man she truly wants-the brooding Duke of Halstone-rejects her, she's left humiliated and heartbroken. Determined to escape the gilded cage of society, Eva disappears into the night, leaving behind her title, her family, and the life expected of her.
What she seeks is freedom. What she finds is her voice-as a writer, a traveler, and a woman unbeholden to marriage or titles.
But when Alaric, Duke of Halstone, learns of her disappearance, regret consumes him. He's spent years watching her from afar, too afraid to act, too haunted by duty and fear of failure. Now, he sets out across Europe to find the woman he let go.
Will she forgive the man who once broke her heart?
And will he finally become the man she deserves?
