A secret past. A chance encounter. A love that changes everything.
Colt Williamson never knew his father’s secret. Raised as a rancher’s son in America, he was unaware of his noble heritage—until tragedy strikes, leaving him not only reeling from his father’s death but also with a bum leg. Forced by his mother to journey to the elegant city of Bath for healing, whispers of his striking resemblance to a long-lost earl begin to spread, and Colt finds himself caught between the rugged life of an American rancher and the duty of stepping into his father’s title.
Penelope Sinclair has always viewed the world through rose-colored glasses. The daughter of a haberdasher, she enjoys her simple life, working alongside her family and spending time outdoors with her beloved nephew. But when she crosses paths with the surly American rancher, she finds a new passion in life, helping someone else find happiness.
Never before has she encountered someone so determined to reject life’s joys, or the love and help others offer, and she’s determined to change that. Can she help him adjust to a life he never wanted, all while discovering a love neither of them expected?
“I never figured I’d find myself again, darlin’, much less find joy in life after all that I lost. But you… you make me want to live again. I’ll do whatever it takes to be the man you deserve.”

Now, her coffers are running dry, and she needs new revenue to continue her charity work, a difficult task given she is a woman with a damaged reputation.

That is, if she can survive the danger growing around the man she loves.
For Gabriel Martin, being as rich as King Midas comes with drawbacks. After hiding the extent of his wealth from fortune hunters and ne’er do well’s for over a decade, his view of women and society in general has become caustic at best.
