He thought his heart was broken, until she inspired an unexpected passion.

Emrys Fitzgerald, Viscount Ashford, widower and father of three, believes himself still heartbroken over his wife's betrayal and subsequent death. To cheer him up, his friends the Duke and Duchess of Troubridge, invite him and his family to their country estate for a summer holiday. Thrown together with the Troubridges' governess, he is shocked to find Miss Annis Pringle more than a little distracting.

What he doesn't know is that Miss Pringle's prim and proper exterior conceal a terrible secret, and when passion collides with Annis's past, his need for a wife and mother for his children dictates a course that leads to unexpected love as well as danger. Emrys fears he is no heroic figure, but can he protect Annis from the man who wants to kill her and win her heart in the bargain?
