Seeking Persephone

Persephone weds the feared Duke of Kielder to save her family, but his cold distance threatens their future.

Though Adam is still confusing and distant, glimpses of the good man behind the frightening facade give Persephone some hope for their future. Word arrives of a deadly battle at sea, bringing Persephone's world crashing down around her. Adam is at a loss to know how to ease her suffering. He is called away on an urgent rescue mission.

Attempting to connect with the woman he has begun to love, Adam offers to bring Persephone's brother to Falstone, as well as host a ball. He wants Falstone Castle to feel like home to Persephone. The tender affection growing between them gives Persephone hope, but she cannot seem to get past the walls he has built around his heart.

After a terrible riding accident, Adam must choose between holding Persephone-or setting her free.
