Samuel kneeled beside her and took her hand in both of his and kissed it gently. "Please come back to me." He whispered. She opened her eyes but saw nothing. She stared straight ahead of her as she often did with a blank expression.

Samuel took this as a sign that she understood him.

"I found her at last, mum." He weakly smiled. "I held her in my arms. But it's too late. She's with someone else now. And he can give her a life that I can't." His voice broke with his heart.

•••

Lady Lena Adler, a product of an affair, is unloved by her family. When dashing humble Samuel Moulin catches her eye her life changes. 

Their love will not be shattered. 

Their spirit will not be broken. 

Lord Everett Preston also has his sights set on her. Arrogant and vengeful is not a good combination. With his wealth, he successfully persuaded Viscount Friedrich Adler to allow him his daughter.

Will the two Shakespearean lovers have a chance at true love or were they fated to be apart for eternity?
