A sparkling new Regency romance novel from Julie Roberts.

Alexander Kilbraith, Earl of Rossmore, keeps his heart guarded. Having lost his wife ten years ago, he vows never to marry again, meaning his reckless half-brother, Geoffrey, is in line to inherit his title.

Alex's desire for love is reignited when he meets the beautiful country girl, Grace Matthews. Not long after being acquainted but unable to resist her charm, Alex sweeps Grace into a passionate whirlwind marriage.

But Grace is hurt when Alex's affections soon become distant. Left alone at Solitaire House in Dorset, she develops a friendship with Norwegian Sea Captain, Hugo Olsen, against social propriety.

And with the prospect of a heir now threatening Geoffrey's potential of becoming Earl of Rossmore, he is willing to go to all lengths to destroy Grace's future...
