Twins--later named William Somers and Reed Gilbride--are
separated at birth by a zealot, and summoned for revenge
with identical anonymous notes 30 years later.
Former nun Chastity Somers arrives in place of her
recently-wed and recently-dead husband, and ends up
rescuing William's young relatives from a workhouse. She
is given the Sunnyledge estate by the estate's executor
for the children's home she's always wanted--unless a true
heir arrives to claim it before three months are up.
Enter heir-apparent Reed Gilbride, who detests children
after having cared for his step-siblings, but must reside
at Sunnyledge with them in order to search for the proof
of his claim. Reed and Chastity strike a bargain. He
will care for the property and show her how to care for
the children--nuns had their worldly needs seen to but
learned nothing of the practical nature of life. Reed and
Chastity will only search together. He wants to be sure
she doesn't destroy the proof of his birth, and she wants
to be certain he manufactures none.
Chastity's wards, Matthew, Mark, Luke and Rebekah,
brigands all, in Reed's estimation, work their way into
his cold Rogue's heart, while Chastity--the woman he sets
out to seduce--gives him a few amazing lessons, ones he'll
never forget.
