Ash has two passions: running a gaming hell and providing desperate women a chance at a better life. His strict rules, especially the one forbidding intimacy with women under his protection, make it easy to keep his desires in check. But now, his responsibilities as the Earl of Ashdown are dragging him back to his estate where he has no rules, only the nightmares from his past.
Gwen left her job dancing at The Raven’s Den eighteen months ago and married a man who quickly became a monster. When she discovers the marriage was never real and he threatens yet another beating, she knocks him unconscious and flees. Other than in her dreams, she never thought she’d see her former employer again. She certainly didn’t expect Ash to show up here, in the dilapidated cabin where she’s taken refuge, and rescue her… again.
Gwen is the one woman who’s always tested Ash’s willpower. When she comes to him like an angel in the night, chasing away his nightmares and soothing his soul, one by one, his rigid rules crumble. How will he ever put them all back into place when they inevitably return to Raven Row and he becomes her employer once more?
