Cast out and alone, I lost everything weeks before my wedding—my betrothed, my family, my future. With nowhere to turn, I accept the help of a compassionate stranger, not knowing it may lead me towards a path I swore never to tread.

Percival
After my wife succumbed to a psychotic break, I placed her in an asylum, a decision that haunts me as I raise our daughter alone. Hope for her recovery wanes with each passing year. I've vowed to uphold my marital duty, yet the arrival of a mysterious woman tempts me with forbidden possibilities. My father’s dishonorable legacy is a constant reminder of the man I refuse to become.

Kind of surprised

I love this author but, and without spoiling anything, she doesn't usually have these kinds of endings, at least not with the books I've read and listened to so far. I love the back and forth with the characters from each point of view. The narrator was great and I look forward to future books in the series.

Interesting story.

I enjoyed this novel and the narrators were very good as well. End kind of leaves one hanging…. but a good continuation in book 2! Very good.
