Returning to the disastrous scene for the first time, Emma Hathaway is older, wiserâand ready to move on. With her parents quickly aging, she needs a husband. Alas, she is an awkward, bookish girl with no dowry to recommend her, and she is far from being an Incomparable or an heiress who might rouse a gentlemanâs interest. Her hopes of changing the tonâs view of her are dashed upon the arrival of the others involved in that life-altering moment. Aidan Cardiffâs perpetual glares prove he blames Emma for Morganâs scarred, blind condition. His unfounded hatred alone leaves Emma shaken, but his unbidden advances threaten to thwart her husband-hunt.
Ever since his sisterâs failed attempts to take her own life, Aidan Cardiff has been a loathsome, brooding artist. Heâs spent three years creating artwork to depict the revenge heâd like to exact against anyone, save himself, who can be blamed for Morganâs pervasive melancholy. Yet his art has been far from enough to assuage the rage heâs built inside. Morgan is finally ready to live again, but Aidan fears letting her out of his sightâparticularly with Emma Hathaway, the chit whose very existence sets his blood to boiling. But is the heat fueling his fire due solely to his anger, or is there something more?
