Yorkshire, 1820 Lina, Lady Radbourne, thought being a countess would rescue
her from poverty. Unfortunately, her young groom failed to plan for the future, and his
drunken accident left her widowed and pregnant. Now Colonel Winstead Vaughan—Win—will
inherit her late husband’s fortune...unless she gives birth to a boy. Win is her natural
enemy, so why can’t she stop thinking about him? Win is stunned to learn he stands to
inherit a vast fortune. He’s even more surprised to find himself falling for the
beautiful, spirited Lady Radbourne, who is the one woman who stands in the way of a life
he’d only imagined. When someone tries to poison Lady Radbourne, suspicion falls on Win.
There’s a clever killer in their midst, and if Win doesn’t solve the mystery fast, Lina
may perish. He needs to win her trust, but how can he prove it’s she he wants, and not
the fortune?
