He Showed Her His Scars And, In Return, He Let Her Pretend That She Had None...
Esther Nott, daughter of the Duke of Aishling, has dedicated herself to a life of charity rather than marriage. Having witnessed peopleβs capacity for deceit, she hides behind the walls she has built around herself to protect her virtue from dishonourable intentions.
Allan Blaksleyβs past as a soldier has left its marks on both his body and soul. With a long scar across his back that he considers hideous, the broken Earl of Wiltshire is constantly reminded of his failures.
But despite their personal obstacles, both Esther and Allan manage to enter each otherβs heartsβ¦
Until a mysterious woman suddenly appears claiming that Allan is the father of her child. Unbeknownst to them, even though the womanβs motives seem purely greedy and materialistic, she will be proved to be only a puppet.
A puppet carrying out someone elseβs well-planned scheme...
