They lost each other to lies—and lived with the ache for ten years. Maggie MacDrummond thought Nathan Penhale had married another. Heartbroken and unable to face him, she entered a quiet match in Scotland, leaving behind the love she believed was lost. Now widowed, she returns to England not to rekindle what was… but to finally let go.

He was waiting without knowing why. Until she appeared. Nathan, Earl of Townsend, never married. Never forgot. He was shattered when news came that Maggie wed another. Resigned to emptiness, he built a life around hollow routines and cold ballrooms—until one glance, one night, one woman steps through the crowd and reminds him what never truly left.

Ten years apart. Ten years of silence. And the truth still waits. They were young. They were misled. But pain taught them what pride never could: that some stories are worth revisiting, and some hearts never stop calling. As Maggie and Nathan uncover the truths behind old betrayals, they must decide if forgiveness is a gift they can offer—and if love can be found not despite the past, but because of what it survived.

She wanted closure. He offers her something more.

🕊️ If you’ve ever acted on heartbreak—and dared to hope that love might still welcome you home… this story is yours.

NOTE: Each love story in this series can be read as a stand-alone. However, most readers prefer to read them in order.

About the Author

Hi, I’m Bree Wolf—a USA Today bestselling author, former academic, and life-long lover of stories. I studied English and Specialized Translation, wandered the halls of universities, spending more years than I should have trying to be reasonable.Eventually, that quiet, persistent voice in my head said: It’s time to write.I’ve since published over fifty historical romances, each one stitched together from pieces of my own heart: doubts, regrets, fears, and messy, hopeful dreams. I love chocolate (especially when chapters get emotional), cry far too easily at my keyboard, and have a deep spiritual bond with cats… which is tragically one-sided, as I’m terribly allergic. A lifelong heartbreak, truly.
