Seeking escape one night, she’s attacked by ruffians, but is saved by an unlikely figure from her past! Having risen from penniless orphan to Member of Parliament, David Tanner Smith is no longer the quiet boy Faith once knew. With the first spine-tingling kiss, their old friendship is transformed. And in its place is an explosive mix of illicit encounters and forbidden desire . . . 
   
  “This story is both a second chance at love story and a friends to lovers story which makes it especially appealing . . . David’s gesture to Faith that proved his undying love for her, past and present, was the sweetest and most heart melting moment you could ever imagine.” —The Book Review
