"That is the last kiss, Mary. There can be no more. Not while you are already promised to another man."

Lady Mary's betrothed was tragically killed in the war. Or so she thought when she was forced out of her mourning and into yet another engagement. But she is finally fed up with others making her decisions for her life..

With only his beloved's picture to console him through his months of agony, Alexander Rowan, the Duke of Redgrave, has nothing left to resemble his past self. Not even his once beautiful face which he now hides behind bandages.

When he hears of Mary's betrayal, nothing can stop him from crashing her engagement ball and demanding satisfaction. And despite the disgusted looks he earns and her claiming not to love him anymore, her kisses tell him otherwise. And what started as a lapse in their judgment now threatens to ruin them all.
