High-born yet penniless, a young woman discovers a lavish inheritance—that comes with a ring attached—in this Regency romance.
From riches to rags, Grace Curtis had to swallow her pride and get a job as a baker when her father's death left her in poverty. But everything changes for the baronet's daughter when she becomes the beneficiary of a surprise inheritance—one that comes with an unusual stipulation.
Suddenly, Grace is able to give up her life of toil and live in luxury once again . . . but only if she marries her benefactor's illegitimate son, a prisoner of war. It's an offer she can't afford to refuse. But her dying husband-to-be makes it even more complicated when he begs her to marry one of his men instead—an act of mercy for the man's loyalty.
This marriage of convenience with a complete stranger seems like an impossible arrangement . . . until Grace gets to know the brash American soldier who suddenly shares her life.
