Julian Tremaine, the Earl of Basingstoke, is a notorious rake; Lady Jane Bennett is a spinster with a spotless reputation. Neighbors since childhood, they’d always expected to marry. They’d been the best of friends, and when Julian experienced a string of tragedies, Jane had been the one he’d turned to for comfort. However, when her father died the year she turned eighteen, Julian hadn’t known how to be there for her the way she’d been there for him. Instead of marrying her and giving her the protection of his wealth and title, he’d run away, leaving her destitute and alone. Broken-hearted and disappointed, Jane has learned to fend for herself and vowed never to love again. Now, seven years later, circumstances have thrown them into each other’s paths once again. Julian has realized what a mistake he’d made and wants a chance to show her that’s she’s the only woman he’s ever loved. However, thoroughly independent and stubborn Jane would rather be alone than make a mistake of her own.
