[Reached # 2 on Regency and # 1 on Austen] After the death of her father, Lady Sarah Jane is passed around her inheriting cousins and uncles as the tolerated ward no one wanted to care for. Years later, when the last of her relatives passed, and with the threat of dissolving the Rosenberg title looming around the corner, Sarah Jane must find a way to secure her future in a society that places prime importance on men. Stumbling upon an old document that could save her, she discovers the uncommon arrangement between her father and the late Viscount Killsworth. The agreement places her into the capable arms and mercy of Killsworth's son, an unmarried gentleman who turns into her protector and guardian. Lord Killsworth keeps himself isolated due to a secret. Although he welcomes the sizable inheritance, he did not expect that it comes along with an atrociously mannered savage of a ward. Yet, when his ward demands for a Season, he soon realizes that obliging her might become the ultimate rescue of his broken, wicked heart.
