Gayle Windham, earl of Westhaven, is the first legitimate son and heir to the duke of Moreland. To escape his father’s inexorable pressure to marry, he decides to spend the summer at his townhouse in London.

Westhaven takes great pleasure in his well-run household until his new housekeeper, Anna Seaton, mistakes his intentions toward a chambermaid and knocks him flat with a fireplace poker. Anna is too educated and polished to have been born to service, but she makes a tender nurse.

As their affections grow, Westhaven believes he’s found a candidate for marriage who would please him and satisfy his father, but Anna refuses Westhaven’s proposal. Her hidden background contains ugly obligations, and she’s determined to keep outrunning them even as he tries to change her mind.

This Regency era battle of wits, wills, and the sexes features a wily duke determined to see the succession of his line secured. The duke can’t force his sons to marry, but he can make their lives miserable until they do. Resisting his pressure, each gentleman holds out for true love.

The second book in the series features Devlin St. Just, the duke’s oldest, but illegitimate, son. Rewarded for his military service with a title and a long-neglected estate, He arrives at his new estate weary in body and spirit only to find the previous owner’s bastard daughter and her beautiful cousin is his responsibility and making his life almost unbearably complicated. Feeling responsible for the child, Devlin invites little Winnie and her aunt, Emmaline Farnum, into his home. Emmie feels swept along but can’t resist the opportunity to stay close to her niece.

As Emmie and Devlin become confidantes, her friendship, insight, and ample charms help him heal from his emotional war wounds, but Emmie’s precarious position in the community and shattering secrets drive her to flee even if it means leaving Winnieâand her heart behind.

As usual, Burrowes’s straightforward, sensual love story is intelligent and tender, rising above the crowd with deft dialogue and delightful characters.
