But she had been contracted for marriage to his older brother John, and, as a second son, Shay had been destined for a soldiers life. Their love could never beuntil a tragic fire changed everything. Cursed by the events of that night and accusations he murdered his own brother to claim the dukedom—and his brothers fiancée—for himself, Shay retreated to his isolated estate a scarred and broken man, determined to live out the rest of his days in self-exile and never see Sophie again.
