One Raven. One Rose. One secret that would not stay buried.

In the wild woods of the Englebright estate, Lady Rosalind is an untamed, unmarried, and unapologetic force of nature. But even the fiercest creature can be snared. When strangers arrive, her world fractures, and the father she thought she knew is forced to reveal a past he buried to protect them all. His connection to the treasonous villain known only as Raven threatens the freedom Rosalind has fought so hard to maintain.

Kristoff Von Reede had one final mission before laying down his sword for good. The assignment should have been simple: locate a long-lost heir. Instead, he finds a hornet’s nest of secrets, conspiracy, and a masked enemy closing in. Tasked with exposing Raven, Kristoff discovers his military discipline and carefully ordered future are completely undone by the fiery lady of the house, who refuses protection and challenges him at every turn.

As they race to unmask a lethal foe and save her father’s life, a dangerous passion ignites between them. Kristoff knows how to win battles, not hearts…and Rosalind refuses to be claimed. With lives at stake and time running out, he must decide whether to desperately cling to the future he planned…or surrender everything for a woman who would rather burn than be tamed.
