Within the span of a single night, she lost her best friend to a devastating secret and overheard the man she loved crush her heart with a careless remark. Fleeing into the shadows of the garden, she expected to find only tears. Instead, she found him. Nathaniel Hawthorne, the elusive heir to a northern dukedom, has no taste for the glittering insincerity of London. He prefers the rugged moors of Chester and the truth of classical poetry.
