About this ebook

A stormy night brings a shipwrecked beauty and a brooding duke together. Can love mend the deepest scars?

In a crumbling castle perched above the rugged Spanish coastline, the Duque de Torme lives in self-imposed exile. Burdened by painful scars and haunted by regrets, Felipe confines himself to the castle’s terrazas, shunning the outside world and intimidating any who dare to approach his gates.

But when a ship wrecks in a violent Mediterranean storm, Felipe ventures down the cliffs to aid any survivors. There is only one—an English beauty named Julia Denman.

Julia begins to recover from her injuries, but as her health grows stronger, so does her desire for the handsome, tortured Duque de Torme. What begins as a cautious companionship soon transforms into an intensely passionate connection, revealing two lost souls yearning for redemption and love.

But as their bond deepens, Felipe and Julia must find solace amidst the storm. Can love heal even the deepest wounds and illuminate the darkest corners of the heart?

Ratings and reviews

omg what a wonderful book I couldn't put it down even while cooking supper.i want to say thank you for writing it when I thought about the ending I imagined them going to a English ball and be there as the duke and duchess embassadors from spain and George and his wife where stunned and was not even noticed by them both what a great revenge. take care be safe and keep on writing

Genuinely endearing, and exquisitely captivating story about the very passionate and profoundly emotional love and respect between two fine individuals who thought they had lost everything—including life and love!

I enjoyed the plot of this story and hoe the FL and ML share a common tragedy that they help each other to cope with while falling in love. I did get irritated by the FL lack of will to stand up for her love and against her oppressor.
