And daring to face them together

He returns to Town this Season, hoping to put it behind him. He was drawn to Brianna Ellsworth last year but fears he’s now unworthy of her. Still, he presses his suit. He won’t let another gentleman win her hand.
Brianna has favored Will for some time, and she sorely missed him when he disappeared last Season. His renewed attention is thrilling, and she suspects that he is the gentleman anonymously sending her red roses every day. Late one night she dares to go to his townhouse and tell him she knows his secret.
To Will’s relief, he learns that she wrongly suspects he is her secret suitor. She doesn’t know about what happened last year. He denies sending the roses but declares that he wants to court her. She admits that she wants only him, and they begin a courtship.
When her anonymous suitor later reveals himself to her, the scoundrel threatens to divulge a dangerous secret about her sister’s past. She knows that her sister’s hard-won happy life will crumble if the truth is known.
Will they share each other’s secrets and keep them safe?
And will they dare to face the villain and end his threats?
