Once upon a time, there were three brothers. Three sons, three rightful heirs to a powerful duke. But when the duke died suddenly, their uncle laid claim of his own, locking away the young brothers. Their crime: existence. And so they escaped and separated to the corners of the Kingdom: to sea, to the streets, to a far away battle, until they were old enough to return and reclaim what was theirs. Stony hearted and hardened by his years in regiment, Sebastian Easton returns to London more a roughened soldier than an illustrious duke. But even as he works to reclaim his one desire, he cannot forget the debt he owes to the girl who helped him and his brothers escape so long ago. And when he learns she is being forced to marry a wretched older man, Sebastian is determined to save her, out of duty. Mary Wynne-Jones paid dearly for her role in helping the brothers. She was sent to a convent, and dreamed of the day when Sebastian would save her. But the man who comes to her rescue isn't the one she dreamed about. Disfigured and harsh, he is hardly the dashing prince she'd imagined. Sebastian finds reclaiming his title much easier than reclaiming his place in society. As danger mounts from a familiar corner, Sebastian may have to choose between the title that has obsessed him and Mary, whose love has the power to set him free.
