He broke her heart. She haunted his dreams. Now fate is forcing them back together... but revenge has never burned this hot.

Ten years ago, Lady Bella Sutherland waited in her wedding dress at a moonlit chapel for the blacksmith's apprentice who'd stolen her heart. Boyd MacKinnon never showed. When she found him days later in a tavern with a woman sitting on his lap, his cruel and public rejection shattered her world.

Now Boyd otherwise known as 'the Monk' is a feared warrior and right-hand man to the king, he bows to no one. When Bella's treacherous brother Bryce Sutherland falls from the king's favor, Boyd sees an opportunity for the ultimate revenge: claim Bella, who once made a fool of him, as his bride.

But the woman standing before him isn't the deceitful, spoiled creature he imagined. And Bella discovers that the ruthless groom demanding retribution bears little resemblance to the gentle man she once loved. As they're bound together in a marriage of convenience, old wounds resurface and dangerous truths begin to emerge.

What neither knows is that they were both betrayed by the same man. Both lied to. Both abandoned. Both in danger.

Can two broken hearts find their way back to each other? Or will the secrets between them destroy their second chance at a love that never truly died?
