An epic feud deserves a legendary romance. Such is the case between the Earl of Claymore and the Marston family. After the death of his father, Kellan MacGregor returns to English soil after years in the Caribbean to take up the mantle of Earl and discovers a lot more comes with it than the title. That includes a sordid history with the Marston family for which Kellan is determined to make amends. Thalia Marston is the youngest of her tight-knit family and is on the brink of her second season as the belle of every ball. But Thalia is growing bored of more of the same from every gentleman who pays her court. When a tall, redheaded, mystery man steals her breath, she senses that something might be different. But when Thalia discovers who he is, the son of her family's greatest enemy, her hopes are shattered. In this Romeo and Juliet forbidden love story, two people believe that love conquers all, but when the histories of their families, and their own scars, get in the way, they have to fight for the life they want together.
