✦ Synopsis

After a decade of seclusion, Edward Blackmore is used to being alone--in fact, he has come to depend on it. With a curse over his head and a face full of scars, he can't risk being discovered by the outside world. When a winter snowstorm brings a desperate woman to his gates, letting her stay is the last thing he needs. But the longer she is with him, the more he realizes he no longer wants to be alone.

Alina Dameron has spent the last six years of her life married to a man who abuses her. In an act of desperation, she flees during a snowstorm and wakes up in a strange manor house whose only inhabitants are a mysterious man who won't show his face and a curious house spirit that takes the shape of fabric. Trapped because of the storm, Alina has no choice but to stay with this stranger who sometimes seems more beast than man. But behind his temper and his secrets there is a sadness that she doesn't understand.

A woman in need of safety and a man in need of redemption just may find peace in each other's arms. But Alina's husband hasn't forgotten about his wife and with help of the villagers and the local priest, he intends on getting her back and showing her who she really belongs to. Edward and Alina must come to trust each other before it is too late.

Author's note: This book contains descriptive adult scenes. It is also implied that the heroine has suffered domestic abuse in her past which may be triggering to some readers. This is a standalone story with no cliffhangers and a happily ever after.
