A marriage built on restraint. A desire too fierce to contain. One perilous secret that could ignite—or destroy—their love.

From USA Today bestselling author Grace Callaway comes a deeply emotional Victorian romance about second chances in marriage, slow-burn passion, and danger that lurks in the shadows.

Three Chances to Cherish (Blackwood Legacy, Book 3 — Steamy Historical Romance)

Years ago, Lord James Harrington, Earl of Manderly, rescued Miss Evie Ashewood from ruin and made her his countess. Their marriage was meant to be a sanctuary. Instead, a threat to Evie’s life fractured their fragile peace, leaving James tormented by an improper longing for the wife he loves but cannot reach.

Brilliant, shy, and more at home in a greenhouse than a ballroom, Evie never intended to marry—least of all a man as honorable and self-controlled as James. Yet behind closed doors, his quiet tenderness awakens desires she can no longer deny. As secrets from her past begin to unravel, Evie must choose between guarding her heart and revealing truths that could shatter her husband’s future.

But the threat is far from over. An ancient village prophecy, a looming enemy, and the fragility of newly rebuilt trust threaten to tear the couple apart.

Will James and Evie fight for another chance at love—or lose each other before their hearts can fully bloom?
