Lucas Bywood has been happily working to restore the estate he won in an unfortunate card game. The unexpected arrival of his younger sister interrupts his plans and his peace. She declares her engagement at an end, and insists she must stay with him to recover herself. With Pearsend barely livable, Lucas is less than pleased with this development. Should he arrange a reconciliation between Philippa and her former betrothed, or let matters take their course?

Add to that the concerning fact that someone has been trespassing, and Lucas is left with a complicated situation on his hands. Someone is spreading a ridiculous rumor that treasure was hidden by a previous owner. Can Lucas find the culprit before permanent harm is caused?

The Firstborn

24 parts Complete

Sophia has sacrificed everything for her younger sister, Lucy. She has removed them from the only home they ever knew, taken on the care of Lucy's illegitimate son, George, and even assumed the role of a widow and mother in order to erase all hint of scandal from the boy's birth. But rumor continues to follow them like the darkest of clouds, and Sophia must adapt to her new existence as a false widow with no prospects beyond the doors of her small cottage. Lord Haughton - "Finn" to those close to him - will stop at nothing to prevent the slightest whiff of disgrace from tainting his family's name. When he learns of his younger brother's latest indiscretion-one that leaves a bastard child in his wake-Haughton rushes across the country to offer the boy's mother a comfortable living in exchange for her silence about the child's true parentage. But he arrives only to have his generous offer thrown back in his face by Sophia Brixton, a sharp-tongued and sharper-witted woman who proceeds to toss him out of her house. But just because he is banished from her home does not mean he is so easily banished from her life.
