New York Times bestselling author Sabrina Jeffries features an irresistible

family in a series to savor, as the grown children of a thrice-married dowager

duchess piece together the stories of their fathers—while pursuing passions of

their own …

Lady Gwyn Drake has long protected her family’s reputation by hiding an

imprudent affair from her youth. But when her former suitor appears at Armitage

Hall, manhandling the heiress and threatening to go public with her secrets, it’s

Gwyn who needs protecting. Her twin brother, Thorn, hires Joshua Wolfe, the estate’s

gamekeeper, to keep her safe in London during her debut. As a war hero, Joshua feels

obligated to fulfill the assignment he has accepted. But as a man, it’s torment to be so

very close to the beauty he’s fought to ignore …

With handsome Joshua monitoring her every move, Gwyn would prefer to forget

both the past and the parade of money-seeking bachelors at her coming out. But

Joshua is unmoved by her attempts at flirtation, and the threat of blackmail still

hangs over her. With danger closing in, Gwyn must decide which is the greater risk:

deflecting a scoundrel’s attempts to sabotage her—or revealing her whole heart to the

rugged bodyguard she can’t resist …
