With Constance, Jonathan, and the new baby all together, it’s clear the wounds-both on the surface and in their relationship-run deep.

But when a missive from Constance requests his presence-to their marriage ceremony-Jonathan is on board. It’s the only way to keep his heart from completely crumbling. Maligned for an injury he received in the line of duty, Jonathan prefers to stay out of sight. Returned war hero and Constance’s childhood best friend, his reentry into society has been harsh.

Surely Grayson cannot go on the road with the woman who has occupied his thoughts for the past decade. But now she’s on his doorstep, asking for use of his carriage and accompaniment on the hunt to find her lost dowry. Grayson has had a heart of stone ever since his engagement to Beth Howell went down in flames-long before she married that cad, Meri, and sealed her own fate for good. Julian Raleah, Marquess of Grayson, cares not a whit for social norms and generally growls at anyone in his path.

To find it, Beth will have to leave town and retrace Meri’s steps if she’s to take her future into her own hands. But her now-deceased husband, Meri, absconded with her money mere days after their illegitimate marriage.

She’d prefer to avoid that dreadful fate. If Beth fails to acquire her funds, her brother will force her to marry someone fifty years her senior and missing half his teeth. After her good-for-nothing first husband married her-and two other women, unbeknownst to them all-she’s left financially ruined and relegated to living with her brother, who cares more for his horses than he does his blood relatives. Beth Howell needs to find her dowry, post haste.
