A widow longing for love but threatened by scandal. A charming rogue who has love to give but not a penny to his name. Two souls yearning to be together yet separated by tremendous odds . . .
As a third son, Englishman Ashby fitz Waryn has neither a title nor grand estate, but he does have a lifelong friend in Lord Garrett Montayne, the earl he serves. Garrett sends Ashby to France to learn more about winemaking, an investment the Montaynes have been involved with for decades. Ashby journeys to Monteville, an estate in Bordeaux, where he becomes knowledgeable about grapes—and unexpectedly falls in love with Marielle de la Tresse, a married comtesse in a loveless marriage.
Marielle Matesse was blamed for her twin sister’s death, spending ten years in a convent as punishment. Returned to her parents, she hopes to start a new life when an older man, a wealthy comte, takes her as his bride. The marriage is loveless and childless and her life dull—until a handsome Englishman comes calling.
When Comte de la Tresse dies under mysterious circumstances, his brother, Marc, insinuates he’ll start rumors that Marielle poisoned her husband unless she immediately weds Marc. Marielle flees France under Ashby’s protection, hoping to start a new life in England with the handsome knight.
But Marc de la Tresse refuses to give up so easily, imprisoning Marielle’s family in Monteville’s dungeons. They will be left to die unless Marielle returns to France and marries her husband’s killer.
Can Ashby outwit Marc and claim the love he’s hungered for, or will Marielle sacrifice her freedom to save the family that abandoned her?

⭐⭐⭐⭐
Marielle Matesse has gone from being an unwanted and unhappy child to being married to a French Count who just wants her as a pretty ornament . She has failed in giving him the heir he wants leaving his horrible younger brother as next in line to inherit.
Ashby fitz Waryn is the bestfriend of Lord Garrett Montayne, who keeps trying to gift him with land so that he will have a home of his own. Ashby will not take charity. He will make his own way or go without. Working as his friend's man of business gives him enough to do on his trip the the French vineyards.
Our poor heroine has never been given a chance to grow into her true character. Our hero has far too much pride for his own good. There is a truely awful villian in this story who will use all means at his disposal to get what he wants.
This story is very emotional at times and has an unexpected ending. I loved the characters even if I thought the hero should have been a little more forceful.
A very enjoyable read.
