A marriage of convenience to defy a ruthless enemy.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFalsely accused and hunted by her late husband's nephew, \u003cb\u003eLady Vivienne Aldridge\u003c\/b\u003e flees London with nothing but terror at her back. A brutal storm shatters her escape-her coach wrecks at the gates of \u003cb\u003eRavencross Hall\u003c\/b\u003e, where she collapses into the arms of its enigmatic master.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDamien, Lord Ravencross\u003c\/b\u003e, is a reclusive \u003cb\u003esculptor\u003c\/b\u003e, seared by a fire that left scars on his body and ghosts in his home. He offers Vivienne shelter on two conditions: respect his solitude and leave him to his work. Yet the quiet woman who wakes in his house sees what others never do-the restless artist, the patient teacher, the man still capable of fierce, inconvenient hope.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSnowed in and surrounded by whispers, Vivienne finds a forbidden refuge in Damien's \u003cb\u003estudio\u003c\/b\u003e. Clay and marble become a language of trust; lessons at the chisel turn into late-night confidences; one unguarded, devastatingly tender \u003cb\u003ekiss\u003c\/b\u003e makes it impossible to pretend they are strangers bound only by gratitude.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen danger arrives at the door with a \u003cb\u003elegal warrant\u003c\/b\u003e to drag Vivienne to an asylum and claim her fortune.

A \u003cb\u003emarriage of convenience\u003c\/b\u003e will keep her safe-for now.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut safety is not the same as a future. To win one, a \"beast\" must believe he is worthy of love, and a hunted woman must claim the life that is rightfully hers.
