When a runaway heiress runs into trouble, she may end up exactly where
she belongs in this brand new series by USA Today bestselling author
Syrie James...
Brainy and college-educated, American heiress Alexandra Atherton will do
anything to avoid marriage to the English peer her mother has chosen for
her--even abandon the life of privilege she's always known. But as her
escape goes horribly wrong, Alexandra must invent a new identity to gain
the help of a handsome stranger.
Thomas Carlyle, the Earl of Longford, sweeps in and out of London
disguised as a humble artist, earning just enough to keep his ancestral
Cornwall estate afloat. When Alexandra crashes into his life, she
awakens feelings and desires that he vows will stay buried. Despite
himself, he needs this beautiful newcomer, for his sisters have run off
another governess.
Alexandra is surprised to find she thrives in her new position at
Longford's home. But as she grows closer to Thomas and his sisters, and
her relationship with the emotionally guarded earl unleashes their
hidden passions, the truth Alexandra's been forced to hide may end up
coming between her and the only man she's ever loved.
