Blurb
1873
Adam Gentry, heir to the celebrated Paradise Stables in Virginia, is haunted by the visions of his lost love. Feeling cursed by fate, he slips deeper into grief, shrouded in a cloud of liquor and depression, and neglects his duties and responsibilities. But when Adam is forced to accept that there’s nothing he can do to change his past, he knows he must move on.
And he accepts his own destiny: that he will never love again.
Emmaline Somerset finds herself in the worst possible position any unmarried woman can be in. She will have to abandon all of her plans, hopes, and dreams for an independence using her own talents. The only viable solution is to move to a distant relative’s home and reinvent herself as a widow with an infant. No one will ever be the wiser.
Adam, now determined to secure the Gentry legacy, plans to save longtime family friend Emmaline from her embarrassment with an offer of marriage. But what Adam didn’t plan on was how his unexpected attraction to her would stir something inside of him, something he's kept locked deep within.
Can love finds its way between two troubled souls, one driven by duty, the other by honor, both determined to find their way home?

Excerpt
Emmaline
Somerset’s bedroom door opened, and her mother poked her head
inside. “Mother, please,” she began but stopped speaking as the
door opened wide and Adam Gentry walked into her room.
“I
know this is unusual, Mrs. Somerset, but certainly you’ve known me
and my family long enough to know that I intend nothing untoward. But
I would like to speak to your daughter alone.”
Adam
stared at her as he spoke to her mother and she could see Jane and
Betsy behind him, eyes wide and their hands over their mouths.
“It’s
not p-proper, Adam,” her mother stuttered.
“I’m
fine, Mother. Stand outside my door if you wish.”
Emmaline
looked at him and noticed that he was thinner than the last time she
saw him. He was still very handsome and even intimidating, filling
the room with his presence. He was the oldest among her generation of
Gentrys and Somersets but had been removed a bit from the rest of
them as they grew up together. A bit apart from John and Matthew and
Jim, who’d been fast friends growing up, and from Olivia and Nettie
and Marabelle Winston, whose family owned the mercantile, and her. He
hadn’t been aloof, but he hadn’t gotten into the same type of
trouble that John and Matthew had.
Women
swooned over him, and he smiled back and tipped his hat in such a way
that made a female feel as if she was the only person of her sex in
the world. Except right now he wasn’t looking so sure of himself
and not particularly happy, either.
