Dr. Duke Potter is no hero.

Nor am I some damsel that needs saving—if that’s what we’re calling it.
But that’s exactly what Duke thinks he did when he found me on the arm of a short-tempered congressman, arranged to be married. I should have told him the truth.

The real reason behind my involvement with the congressman.

I shouldn’t have danced in his arms and reminisced about the time when we ran away together.

But I most definitely shouldn’t have chugged that last drink and said, “I do,” marrying my childhood love.

Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time Duke and I have caused a scandal.

This time, though, we have more than just our reputations on the line.

Duke will never let me go.
There is no annulment in our future.

Only the consequences of the devastating secret I’ve kept from our past.
