This reverse Cinderella regency romance featuring a world-weary war hero and a snobbish English lady penned by USA TODAY bestselling and HOLT Medallion winning author Bree Wolf proves that love generally finds you when you least expect it. England 1806: DEREK MCKNIGHT, BARON AINSWROTH, is a self-made man, who clawed his way from the life as a simple farmer's son to the upper class of English society. Awarded a run-down barony for his service to the crown, he is determined to turn his back on London and the peers he despises, his eyes firmly fixed on providing a good life for his family and tenants.
Until one night when he sees a raven-haired lady on the arm of a man from his past. Determined to protect her, he takes a wrong step, dooming them both.
LADY MADELINE has vowed not to marry beneath the rank of an earl. Using her clever wit and fierce determination, she has passed up several marriage offers as well as successfully sidestepped the occasional scandal.
Until one night when her plans go horribly awry and she finds herself compromised by the wrong man.
Utterly disappointed in her low-born husband, Madeline cannot deny that there is something deeply tempting about those dark eyes that seem to see to the very core of her. His hands may be rough and work-worn, but their caresses send tantalizing chills over her skin she's never known existed.
Will Madeline be able to look past her husband's title and see the man who is perfect for her in every other way?
