Widowed after an abusive marriage, Jane seeks solace in the arms of the one man she has always loved. But her scars run deep, and the physical comfort her lover brings does little to heal her pain. 

Richard Black, the Duke of Lofton and spy for the British War Office, waited for her, watching  as the agony of marriage broke the woman he loved. His instincts tell him to protect her at all costs now that she has come to him, but when Jane stumbles into his current case investigating a bodysnatching ring, his intentions prove harder to meet than he had anticipated.

As treasonous plot threatens their chance at love, can Jane find the strength to be his duchess?
