Andrew Hugh aspired to be a rogue. He chased women with lustful eyes and poetic words. Making it his life's mission to never truly settle down with just one woman. At least that's what he had told himself before he met her. Hany James was a working class girl. She was a cook and prided herself at being an excellent one at that. In fact she was known for being the one of the best cook's in England. Fireworks go off when they first encounter each other.

Will the two overcome their budding obstacles or will their love completely elude them? Highest Ranking #48
