Jake McCabe separated from his wife, Isobel, convinced that the daughter she gave birth to was not his.
Insistent that Emily was Jake's child, Isobel struggled on as a single mother. Ten years after walking away from their marriage, a sudden confrontation over Emily brings the software tycoon back to her London flat.
When Isobel prepares to take her ailing mother back to Mattingley in Yorkshire, Jake offers to drive the family north, refusing to leave them to navigate the drafty halls alone.
Uncovering the secrets guarding Lady Hannah Lacey’s decaying manor widens the chasm between them, yet walking away proves impossible when every glance threatens his hard-won restraint.
But now Jake finds himself in Isobel's life once more—and caught up again by the same heated desire that held him tight when they were first married. Seducing Isobel can only add to the list of their sins, and it won't change the truth of her betrayal…or will it?
