By Ashley J. Barner, Jennifer Sanders

Heat level
Warm

He discarded his dreams to hide what he’s become. She sacrificed everything to protect what’s most dear to her. Have they found family at last—or will their secrets drive them apart? Forever changed by a mysterious past, Hugh Pembroke has given up any thought of home and family until the death of an old friend makes him the guardian of a child he’s never seen. Little Lettie is frightened and alone, and he longs to give her the life she deserves. Aoife Donnelly has given up everything: her name, her status, all she values most, to protect her own secret. Accepting a position at Juris Hall as governess to Mr. Pembroke’s ward seems to offer the security she seeks. But Lettie’s grandfather, the vengeful Viscount Rainsford, will stop at nothing to ruin them all. It will take a miracle to save them—or perhaps just a little magic. Can Hugh and Aoife trust each other enough to keep Lettie safe—and maybe find happiness as well? You'll love this Regency romance—with a twist!
