Books like Echoes in the Mist by Andrea Kane

Trenton Kingsley, the disgraced Duke of Broddington, has long dreamed of avenging his father’s death. After a sudden return from self‑imposed exile on the Isle of Wight, he targets the man he holds responsible—Baxter Caldwell, the unscrupulous Viscount Winsham. In a masterstroke of irony, Trenton forces the viscount’s hand and seizes his most precious possession: Ariana, Caldwell’s innocent sister. Ariana has grown under the shadow of a family tragedy centered on Trenton Kingsley. She has been led to marry a man she hates and fears, and she finds herself caught in the renewed fury of an ancient feud. Despite the danger, her husband’s unaccountable torment draws her closer, and her instincts never allow her to retreat. Caught between Trenton’s brooding desire and her brother’s imperious demands, Ariana embarks on an odyssey for truth, her heart consumed by a promise of passion and overwhelming love.
