A vengeful lord's mission to destroy becomes a quest to protect the woman he cannot afford to love but cannot bear to lose... Ian, Viscount Warrick, embarks on a journey fueled by vengeance, with sights set on the destruction of the woman he blames for his brother's tragic end. Yet, his cold resolve melts away upon meeting Evangeline Caruthers, whose soulful eyes and dignified strength reveal a woman of virtue, not vice. As Ian finds himself drawn to Evangeline against all reason, he faces a dilemma that threatens the very essence of his being: avenge his brother or protect the woman who has stolen his heart.
