A widowed Marchioness, a Scholar, secrets kept far too long, a surprise inheritance, a love that heals old wounds

*****FREE ON KINDLE UNLIMITED*****

Olivia Asterwood, Marchioness of Hemsbridge, is two years widowed, and focusing all of her energies on finding a wife for her son. Until, that is, she meets a scholar with as much of an obsession for the history of the great families as she has.

Edward Greenidge, third son of a Viscount, has spent his life as a scholar of genealogy. Burying himself in his research has seemed the safest path, after his one venture into marriage failed disastrously. A widower, he expects to spend the rest of his life in libraries, in the company of books. But fate has other plans.

When they meet, common interest paves the path to intense and unexpected attraction -and together they discover secrets long held, which will change both of their lives.

Can Olivia see past her longstanding beliefs about love? Can Edward overcome his doubts, and admit his feelings? Or will the past steal the future from them?
