However, a simple case of following the clues left behind becomes far more as the search unravels her former fiancé’s secrets.

She had a face that was perfectly forgettable. At least that is how Jamie Grace described his wife Georgie to his cousin Colonel Adam Marrick, the new Duke of Rothray.

He wanted to make sure Adam would be with his family if he couldn’t. The longer he spends with Georgie Grace, the more Adam wants to do just that, with a perfectly forgettable woman, who turns out to be surprisingly unforgettable.
