   Summary

   After losing everything-her life's work, her best friend, her self worth, her heart, and the small part of her she'd never get to cradle in her arms-Penelope Featherington is ready to disappear. But when Lord Debling finds her broken and haunted by her past, he sees what no one else ever did.

   Her strength.

   Under his tender, commanding care, she begins to heal and discovers the power in surrendering to a man who knows exactly how to cherish her.
