In an era where love often takes a backseat to duty, a young woman finds herself caught between the life she's expected to live and the one her heart desires.


When Miss Elizabeth Evans becomes governess to the Duke of Ashton's five spirited children, she believes she has found the freedom she has long craved.

But the Duke, devastatingly handsome yet haunted by the shadows of his past, poses a challenge that threatens to unravel everything she thought she understood about love and sacrifice. As she navigates the unexpected joys of caring for his children and the stirrings of forbidden affection, she discovers that some choices come with consequences no one could foresee.


As secrets surface and loyalties are tested, they learn that sometimes the greatest act of love is knowing when to let go and that some revelations can change everything in ways both devastating and miraculous.

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.
