Josephine Langford, a flight attendant, finds herself in an abusive relationship, engaged to a guy who is the chosen one; but clearly not 'the one' for her. She seeks safety with her best friend, Hero Fiennes Tiffin, a pilot in the same airline, which leads to a new perspective of her life when she learns she can be happy after all. When her life hits a major bump, she is left alone and shattered in a questionable situation, she pursues comfort in her friend who takes her in. What she doesn't know is that Hero has a striking past of his own, and she is the source of bliss for him, the light in his dark life. It had always been there how he felt, she could just never see it.

Hero Fiennes Tiffin knows his duty: find a wife and sire a son of his own. The perfect bride for a man in his position would be a biddable young girl of good breeding. But the woman who haunts his imagination is Josephine Thomas-a village midwife with a dark secret that thrusts her into Hero's protection. Within the space of a day, Josephine has been abducted by her first husband's cronies, rescued, and proposed to by a man she scarcely knows. Stranger still is her urge to say yes. A union with Hero Fiennes Tiffin could benefit them both, but Josephine doubts she can ever trust her heart again, or the fervent desire Hero ignites. ⚠ TRIGGER WARNINGS ⚠ THIS BOOKS INVOLVES TOPICS AS: RAPE, SUICIDE, MISCARRIAGES, SEXUAL AND PHYSICAL ABUSE AND OTHER ISSUES IN THAT MATTER.
