They see a brokenhearted widow.
She's far from shattered.
Lady Philippa Winston is never marrying again. After her late husband's
cruelty that she kept so well hidden, she has no desire to search for
love.
Years ago, Miles Brookfield, the Marquess of Guilford, made a frivolous
vow he never thought would come to fruition - he promised to marry his
mother's goddaughter if he was unwed by the age of 30. Now, to his
dismay, he's faced with honoring that pledge. But when he encounters the
beautiful and intriguing Lady Philippa, Miles knows his true path in
life. It's up to him to break down every belief Philippa carries about
gentlemen, proving not only that is love real but that he is the man
deserving of her sheltered heart. Will Philippa let down her guard and
allow Miles to woo a widow in desperate need of his love?
