A reluctant duke. A beautiful widow. A crumbling estate hiding dangerous secrets …
In this clean Regency romance, a self-made industrialist unexpectedly inherits an ancient title, a crumbling estate and a household of spirited women under the rule of a tyrannical dowager. But when he meets the beautiful widow of his late uncle, everything he knew about his future shifts.
She needs a champion ...
Josephine Oxley never expected to depend on a stranger for salvation. But her stepdaughters’ safety, and that of her unborn child, may lie in the hands of the new Duke of Oxley. And while she should never entertain interest for a man who could expose everything, she cannot deny the comfort she finds in his strength … or the temptation in his touch.
He has no interest in the affairs of nobleman ...
Alistair Fraser Oxley built his fortune in textiles and steam, not silk and scandal. He has no interest in his unwanted title or the aristocratic vipers who come with it. But one look at the dowager duchess, cloaked in secrets and sorrow, and he finds himself staying longer than planned … and falling harder than he should.
As shadows creep through Fortunestone Hall and the threat of ruin looms, attraction grows between them. But is it enough to forge a future when betrayal is closing in from all sides?
