England, 1813. Damon de Wolfe, the sixth Marquess of Morninghall (A Romantic Times K.I.S.S. Hero of the Year Nominee) is dark, diabolical, and very, very dangerous. Tortured by his past and driven by his desire for revenge, the former naval hero has fallen from grace after infuriating his superiors. Now seething with anger in his lowly role of prison ship commander, he has locked away his brutal childhood memories and allows no one into his world. When beautiful and independent social reformer Lady Gwyneth Evans Simms dares to clash with him over mistreated prisoners, she unwittingly throws herself into the most perilous fight of her life. And Damon embarks on a journey of healing and discovery as the lovely widow seeks to exorcise the demons haunting his very soul through lessons in love. A gripping and emotional Beautyand the Beast tale by bestselling, multi-award winning author Danelle Harmon (author of the de Montforte Brothers series).
