Lady Emilia Shepard loved Lord Trotten--before he left her. Before he ruined her. Years later, can she forgive him when the truth behind his actions comes to light? ***** Emilia Shepard is a wallflower. Or rather, she was, until she met Will Graham--Lord Trotten--in a London ballroom one blustery evening. And because he saw her when no else did, she couldn't help falling in love with him. But then he left her. Ruined her. And she swore she'd always hate him. Now, years later, the two of them reconnect when they become embroiled in a plot to save England from a treacherous king. A king who, unbeknownst to Emilia, blackmailed Will into breaking off his engagement with her. But once she learns the truth, can she bring herself to forgive him after everything he's done? Or will his attempts to win her back be too little, too late? -SECOND BOOK IN THE BEFORE SERIES, SEQUEL TO BEFORE SHE RULED- [[word count: 100,000-150,000 words]] [Spice Off Awards, Historical Fiction, 1st place] Cover designed by Holly Thurston
