“Forbidden to me, forbidden to each other…” (Lady Eugenie Crampton)

Edinburgh/Scotland – 1817:

Lady Eugenie Crampton had always dreamed of taking part in the London social season like her sisters – finding a good match, falling in love, and living her own fairy tale. But everything changes with a simple bump at the dressmaker’s door, when she crosses paths with a stranger with intense eyes and a mysterious past.

Captain Roberth Cliff Voldstok has just returned from the British colonies. Young, handsome, and bearing the marks of war in his gaze, he was not looking for romance… until he met the charming redhead who seemed to have stepped out of a dream. But there is an insurmountable obstacle between them – a secret no one dares to reveal.

An unexpected love. A secret that keeps them apart. A passion that defies everything.

Amid furtive encounters, silent vows, and the constant risk of scandal, Eugenie and Roberth will fight against the chains of fate. But will love be strong enough to withstand the truth?

A sweeping, forbidden romance that will move you until the very last chapter.
