When trust is betrayed, forgiveness is the only redemption.
Seven years ago, Alice de Grecy's father bullied her into breaking her engagement to businessman Ross Trelawney, an act which left her heartbroken. Now recovering from an abusive marriage to a duke who died in violent circumstances, she finds herself an object of gossip among the ton. Terrified at the notion of remarriage, she spends her time volunteering at a shelter for abused women. When she meets Ross again, their bitter encounter is a reminder of what she has lost.
After Alice rejected him, Ross vowed to marry for convenience, not love. Now widowed with a young daughter, a chance meeting with Alice reignites old passions, but the last thing he needs in his life is the woman he's spent seven years trying to forget.
When Alice's ambitious father arranges her marriage to a viscount twice her age, Alice and Ross seem destined to be apart. Ross must conquer his demons if he does not wish to lose Alice forever, and Alice must learn to trust again if she is to find happiness.

Alice De Grecy is back home in the less than gentle hands of her father, after two years in an asylum. She was sent there after problems with her now dead husband. After years of abuse Alice is hoping for peace, but that is not to be.
Ross Trelawney has only ever loved one woman. She broke his heart years ago when she prefered to marry a Duke. Perhaps she deserves her title as the deranged duchess.
A very emotional story that could contain triggers for some people. Our heroine has suffered horrific abuse and that takes time to recover from. Our hero has no idea what has been happening and can easily make matters worse.
