She once loved him—and stayed silent, afraid he didn’t feel the same. Lady Juliet Beaumont carries the memory of a love that never had a chance to grow. Years ago, she gave her heart to a man she believed didn’t want it—and kept her feelings buried, safe and quiet. Now companion to her lively grandmother and cherished by her unruly, wonderful family, Juliet lives with grace and purpose. But the ache never truly left.

He loved her too—and left believing she deserved better. Christopher Hurst, Earl of Lockhart, walked away from England—and Juliet—hoping distance would dull what he couldn't say aloud. He feared she saw him only as a friend, and he couldn't bear the risk of being found wanting. But now, summoned home by Grandma Edie, he returns with a heart still full of her.

They both loved. They both feared. And now—perhaps—they can hope. As Juliet and Christopher cross paths once more, the past resurfaces in gentle glances and cautious conversation. And in the quiet between them, love waits—not in grand declarations, but in small, brave moments. Because sometimes the only way forward is to speak the words you once swallowed... and see what’s still possible.

If you’ve walked through heartbreak and still believe in joy, even quietly, this story is here to walk beside you.

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.
