   Summary

   "I have lived in fear of my own blood for so long. But for your sake, I have stayed in the light. I can offer you a hand that is... unburdened. I have kept myself for you, Harriet. In every way a man can.”

   To the world, Prince Ernest is a rake living in the shadow of a scandalous family legacy, but in secret, he has spent years transforming himself into a man worthy of the woman he loves. As Princess Vicky’s fever casts a pall over the palace, Ernest finally steps out of the shadows to offer Harriet Sutherland a future built on a promise he has fought every instinct to keep.
