Scandalous Liaison (Ladies and Scoundrels Book 5) Ebook

She gave him up once to save her family. Now he is her last chance at forever.

When Grace Stratton was seventeen, she gave her heart to Lewis Duffield—and then shattered them both by marrying another man. Duty demanded it. Love did not survive it. Or so she has tried to believe for more than twenty years.

Now widowed and bound for Scotland for her great-niece’s christening, Grace expects only a family celebration. Instead, a broken carriage leaves her stranded at an inn face-to-face with the one man she has never forgotten.

Lewis crossed an ocean long ago and built a life in America, far from the woman who broke his heart. But one look at Grace proves some loves do not fade with time. As old longing flares to life, stolen nights, painful truths, and years of unfinished heartbreak force them to confront the question they once left unanswered:

Can love survive the life that came after it?

With a second chance at the future they once lost, Grace and Lewis must decide whether to risk everything for a love that still burns—or let each other go forever.

A tender, emotional Victorian romance novella filled with second chances, mature longing, family warmth, and a hard-won happily ever after.
