Synopsis

The first in the Sequels series from the New York Times bestselling author of the Westmoreland series—who “is in a class by herself” ( USA TODAY )—follows a young woman who travels across the ocean to claim her rightful inheritance, only to encounter a passionate and unforgettable romance. Victoria Seaton, a free-spirited American beauty left suddenly orphaned, is determined to lay claim to her long-lost heritage in Great Britain. When she arrives at Wakefield, the sumptuous estate of her distant cousin Lord Jason Fielding, she is overwhelmed by its astounding elegance. She is also bewildered by Jason—his arrogance, panther-like grace, and hidden depths. Unable to resist her spitfire charm, Jason is enraptured by Victoria and is determined to have her. Wed in desire, they are enfolded in a fierce, consuming joy, free at last from the past’s cruel grasp. Then, in a moment of blinding anguish, Victoria discovers the shocking treachery that lays at the heart of their love. Is it too much for their relationship or will their love last once and always?
