A blessing in disguise. A difficult choice. A love affair cut short.

When Isabel discovered she was pregnant, she cherished it as a gift from her beloved. She refused to forfeit the child, even if it meant leaving the barony or concealing her condition from Agares, whose rumored engagement to Lady Sepia of the Ducal House of Schade suggested Isabel might never see him again in any case.

Following her expulsion from the barony and the relinquishment of her property rights, Isabel once again flees from her beloved. This time, she does so with the resolution to stay away from him forever. Meanwhile, Agares must deal with his own feelings, and the troubles his status threatens to pose for him.

Navigating the world alone as a young woman with nothing to her name can be a daunting task. With Isabel gone, will Agares be able to locate her and rekindle their love? Or is their story doomed to have an unhappy ending?

Sometimes, it takes a serendipitous encounter to reunite the sweetest of hearts.
