"Had me smiling like a lunatic... until the last 2 pages got me all teary." — 5-star Goodreads review

A countess in hiding. An artist in ruin. A love that shouldn't work... but just might.

A COUNTESS WHO’S LOST EVERYTHING

Regina Townsend’s life has been marked by heartbreak and betrayal. Widowed and desperate to protect her young daughter and unborn child from her ruthless brother-in-law, she escapes to a crumbling cottage on England’s windswept coast. Determined to remain hidden, she has no room in her plans—or her heart—for a man. Especially not one as charming as the stranger who lands among her cabbages.

AN ARTIST HAUNTED BY HIS PAST

Once celebrated, Alexandre Marchand’s life has unraveled. Haunted by nightmares and unable to remember what led to his downfall, he’s driven to the brink as forgeries of his paintings begin to circulate. Low on funds and hope, Alex is on the hunt for a wealthy heiress. Instead, he finds a penniless widow with a quick wit, a fierce heart, and no patience for his practiced charm.

A LOVE WORTH RISKING EVERYTHING FOR

As Alex’s past closes in and Regina’s plan for independence falters, they must decide how much they’re willing to risk. Can Regina trust a man with so many secrets? And can Alex prove he’s worthy of the love he never knew he needed?
