1874 – London
No condemnation…
Lady Charlotte Kingsley returns to London after spending a year on the Continent to avoid a vicious scandal. Once dubbed The Manipulative Matron by the press, she hopes the worst has blown over and she can live life on her terms. She also seeks to return to the faith of her youth. But a God who does not condemn her is a hard truth to embrace.
Over two years ago, Thomas Howard left prison. Having reconciled with God and his family, he lives a quiet life. He longs to return to the world of art, but can he re-awaken his talent? And though he is convinced God has forgiven his past, what can persuade the woman he nearly ruined to do the same?
When a chance meeting throws the two together, a friendship forms. But their reputations as social pariahs are too delicious for the scandal-mongers to resist. Their pasts return to haunt them and may ruin more than just their growing feelings for one another. Despite the world’s harsh judgment, can they find hope that in Christ there is now no condemnation?
