Before she met him, her existence was business-as-usual, planned and executed to a template she had no hand in creating.
Edmund was anything but usual, and his wholly unusual being was begging for her.
Although Emma Thompson debuted weeks ago, she had failed to accomplish her singular goal - snagging a well-suited husband. With her reputation on the line, when an invitation arrives from the heavily rumored Lockhart estate, she accepts without question.
With half of the London gentry sequestered deep in the countryside, she anticipated parties, dancing, and handsome gentlemen.
Never could she have predicted the mystery and desire that awakened upon discovering her missing host.
Earl Edmund Lockhart had plenty of reason to stay hidden. Born into an unnatural body, his very life would be in danger if he were discovered. Equally cursed with overwhelming hope, a misguided plan shatters his world of solitude, bringing Emma’s, rife with rumors and whispers, to his front door.
Secrets, schemes, and dreamland lust leads to an unexpected comradery, unleashing unwanted yearning – at least for Emma.
When a sudden appearance threatens the fabric of her reality, revealing a deep betrayal, Emma must decide to remain in the society she has always known or chase the bewitching passion seeping through the Belmont woods.
