Lady Phillipa's heart is on the verge of being broken. The man she has exchanged letters with for months now refuses to answer her missives. That man, after the death of his older brother, is now the Duke of Grey, one of the most powerful lords in the land. When his sister invites Phillipa to the country, she jumps at the chance to discover why the duke forsook their love. When she arrives, she finds a broken, brooding man who insists keeping her away is for her own protection. But in his beautiful face, marred by scars, she sees the soul of the man she loves. Nothing will stop her from fighting for their love. Not even his quest for vengeance. Brutally wounded at the battle of Waterloo, Anthony, Duke of Grey, knows he can never allow Phillipa into his life. It matters not that he treasured every letter she wrote him or that those letters sustained him under the brutal command of Captain Adams. Now a duke, even though his body is irreparably scarred, he is determined to bring Adams to justice for his horrible cruelty towards the youngest members of his crew. Grey will stop at nothing to keep Phillipa safe and away from his war-torn heart. After all, he is not the young man he once was. No, he will not allow Phillipa into his tortured world, even as he longs for her body and soul. When she arrives at his castle, can he turn her away, or will love tame the beast?
