Confronting the darkness of his past, he finds the light of
his future.
After years gadding about Europe, Everett Gerard can no
longer avoid his responsibilities. Word has come that a
child bearing the unmistakable Gerard stamp has shown up at
the family estate—and he realizes it’s time to face his demons.
As his carriage nears the gates of home, he fights the urge
to flee the memory of the horrible crime he witnessed as a
child. Yet the Abbey delivers surprises and delights he
never expected.
Miles Kenway was content with his quiet life as the Abbey’s
bailiff, until the wild child, clearly a bastard son of some
Gerard, upends his peace with constant pranks and mischief.
And when the master of the house arrives, an unsettling
attraction heats Miles’s blood.
As they clash over the fate of the ancestral land, they
battle a powerful desire to grapple in ways that could
disrupt the delicate balance between master and servant. But
when the boy’s real sire appears, they must unite as only
true fathers can to protect the boy whose mischievous charm
has captured their hearts.
