Not every silence is empty. Some are full of longing.

To save her family from ruin, Isabel must marry a stranger. The Earl of Bengrove is wealthy, powerful, and in need of an heir. He is aloof and coldly indifferent, but he offers security, comfort and salvation for her family, debt-ridden after her father’s death.
 Isabel finds her indulgent new life overwhelming and lonely. Yet beneath her husband's reserved exterior, she begins to glimpse a man very different from the one she married.
Just as hope begins to blossom, however, the shadow of the beautiful Mrs Morrell—the earl's longtime mistress—falls across their marriage. Can Isabel win her husband's heart, or will the past prove too powerful to overcome?
