Publisher Description
A heartbreaking betrayal. A secret life. A love that deserves a second chance.
Iain MacInnes, Duke of Balgair, has spent the last thirteen years believing his wife is dead—until he receives word that she is very much alive and living under an assumed name on the remote Isle of Synne. He sets off with only one goal in mind: bring his wife back to Scotland where he can divorce her and expose her for the liar she is.
After a devastating deception by the man who was supposed to love her, Seraphina did what was necessary to keep herself and her sisters safe. And though she’s still haunted by the events that tore her world apart all those years ago, she’s made a happy life on Synne, surrounded by loyal friends and building a secret career as a popular author. Now that Iain has found her, however, all that is at risk.
Despite their long separation, the attraction between Iain and Seraphina still burns strong. But with so much hurt and betrayal between them, can they possibly find their way back to each other?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Britton's moving third Synneful Spinsters Regency (after What's a Duke Got to Do with It) follows Iain MacInnes, Scottish Duke of Balgair, who, believing himself to be widowed, hopes to remarry and produce an heir. His plans stall, however, when he learns that Seraphina Trew, the woman he married 13 years before and who he believed abandoned him and later died, is actually still alive and now an author living on the Isle of Synne with her younger sisters. Iain tracks her down and convinces her to go back to Scotland with him to get a divorce. Seraphina, who believes that Iain abandoned her, has made some tough choices to support her sisters. She's intimidated that Iain is now a duke and feels unworthy of him. But as they travel together, attraction reignites and they clear up their misconceptions about their relationship's end, coming to realize that Seraphina's father meddled in their lives. Romantic tension between Iain and Seraphina simmers throughout, complicated by misunderstandings and supercharged by the passage of time. This alluring, emotionally charged Regency proves hard to put down.
