She was his future… until she forgot him.

​

Henry Addams, the Marquess of Herefordshire, has spent months searching for the woman he loves—refusing to accept she is gone forever.

​

When he finally finds Lady Helen near the Scottish border, she is alive…

…but she does not know him.

​

The warmth in her eyes is gone.
The memories they shared—vanished.
The love they built—lost.

​

To her, he is nothing more than a stranger.

​

Fearing those who once took her may still be hunting her, Henry makes a desperate choice. He takes her to Gretna Green… and makes her his wife.

​

If she cannot remember loving him…
He will make her fall in love with him again.

​

He will court her.
He will protect her.
He will earn her heart—no matter the cost.

​

Even if it destroys his own.

​

But when danger returns, and her memory begins to surface, so does the truth of what she endured… and the question that may shatter everything:

​

Did he marry her for love—

—or out of obligation?

​

In a world of secrets, power, and whispered betrayals, Henry must prove one thing above all—

His love was never duty.

​

It was always devotion.
