Romance Historical

For ten long years, Miss Viola Winslow has had a tragic secret—she’s been utterly in love with the Duke of Huntington. Viola may be intelligent and sensible, but as a governess to a wealthy family of the ton, she knows her love can only be forever unrequited. Still, she can dream of a different life, one where a man like him could possibly notice a woman like her.

James “Hunt” Montagu, Duke of Huntington, has come to believe that love itself is a sham. He left London for his family seat at Moorcliff Castle after a single marriage season confirmed the matter. He spends his days near the Scottish border hunting, riding, and managing his estates as disheveled as he pleases.

When Viola’s charge suffers an ankle injury near Moorcliff Castle, they’re all under the same roof until she heals. Hunt may have been acquainted with Viola, but somewhere between accepting love advice from a 14-year-old girl and painting trips to his local cemetery he realizes he’s never truly noticed her before. And just when he’s convinced himself that love might in fact be real, he discovers a secret that will change everything.
