About this ebook
But Sir Kendal has other ideas.
A gentleman of impeccable manners and unquestionable authority, he is determined to guide his spirited young ward towards a respectable future—and, above all, to protect her from fortune hunters who would gladly exploit her innocence and inheritance. Finding her a suitable husband soon becomes his most pressing concern.
Unfortunately, Miss Hampton has plans of her own.
Accustomed to being obeyed, Sir Kendal finds himself thoroughly unprepared for a young lady who questions his every decision, challenges his authority and seems determined to turn his orderly existence upside down. What begins as a battle of wills soon becomes something far more dangerous.
For Rosalie's defiance awakens a temptation he cannot afford to acknowledge, whilst beneath her rebellious charm lies a secret that could change everything.
Then, one fateful night, the unthinkable happens.
Suddenly, the gentleman who has spent his life mastering his passions must confront the one desire he cannot command—and the one woman he may never be permitted to love.
In a world where reputation is everything and a single indiscretion can ruin a life, will duty prevail over desire, or will Tower Hill Manor become the setting for a scandal neither of them can escape?
Some rules are made to be broken. Some desires are far too dangerous to follow. And some hearts were never meant to obey.
