A nobleman takes in a ward and her beautiful chaperone whom he must keep from falling for in in this Regency romance from a New York Timesโbestselling author.
Itโs the kind of vow often made on the battlefield. Darby Travers, Viscount Nailbourne, never imagines heโll have to honor it. Yet here she is on his doorstepโhis late comradeโs young daughter, and Darbyโs new ward. Worse, she comes with the most overprotective, mistrustful, bothersome chaperoneโthe childโs aunt, Sadie Grace Boxer. Darby is quite sure that behind her lovely facade, the woman is guarding a secret.
Sadie Grace faced many trials working in her brotherโs surgery, but none prepared her for the world sheโs thrust into with his passing. Navigating the ton, with its endless ball gowns and parade of parties, is difficult enough, but hiding the truth about her niece while the sophisticated viscount watches her every move proves nearly impossibleโparticularly when his searing gaze tempts her to bare all. But when her familyโs past catches up with her, sheโll have to trust in Darbyโno matter the cost to her heart.
