Noelle Dorian survives as a thief in London's streets when Quinn Copeland, an American shipping heir, kidnaps her and forces her into marriage. The Copeland fortune transforms her into a celebrated beauty in London society, but Quinn abandons her after their wedding night. Noelle builds a new life among the elite while nursing dreams of revenge against the black-eyed man who changed everything. When Quinn returns to claim her, he takes her across the ocean to America's untamed frontier. In the wilderness, Noelle and Quinn must forge a partnership to survive. Their shared pride and fierce attraction create a bond that could destroy them or bind them together forever. Noelle's journey carries her from the poverty of Soho to the glittering ballrooms of London and finally to the raw landscape of the New World, where she discovers what she truly wants.
