The Heir of Shadows - …and the Lady of the Hill #984445

Ten years after a flight that seemed to change everything, Eleanor Honeyford has learned to live with the absence of Alistair Vale, the boy with whom she shared her childhood and her first love. He was forced to leave England after an accusation that put his life in danger, and ever since, the past has remained a wound that neither of them has ever managed to fully close.
When a mysterious aristocrat returns to England under the name of Julian Valebrook, Viscount Devereux, he brings with him a new identity, a position he never imagined attaining, and unfinished business from the past. But returning home means more than facing those who once wronged him. It also means discovering what remains of the person he once was—and what place still belongs in his heart to the girl who never stopped waiting for him.
Amid family secrets, whispered rumors, old loyalties, and an atmosphere steeped in mystery, Eleanor will have to decide how far she is willing to go to protect what she loves without surrendering her own will.
Because sometimes the past returns wearing another face. And only then do we understand that some stories do not need to go back in time to be given a second chance.
Because this is not merely a story about reclaiming a lost love. It is a story about two people who must discover that loving one another does not mean losing themselves in the other, but being able to choose each other without ever ceasing to belong to themselves.
Can love survive time, fear, and everything that once forced two people apart?
