When her late husband's heir returns to claim his fortune, a young widow finds her home—and her heart—in jeopardy in this Regency romance.

Since her husband's death, Grace Forbush has dedicated herself to seeking justice for vulnerable women. But now it is Grace who finds herself vulnerable—when she discovers a buckskin-clad ruffian in her library.

Adam Hawthorn is not what he seems. A gentleman by birth, he is also the true heir to the estate of Grace's late husband. Presumed dead for years, he has now returned to claim what is rightfully his: a home, a fortune—and a bride!
