Eloise Beauchamp arrives in a remote Scottish village determined to leave her family’s ruined name behind. Using her mother’s maiden name, she expects nothing more than a quiet position as governess to two orphaned children and the chance to have a new beginning. Instead, she finds herself drawn to a guarded Viscount whose quiet strength stirs feelings she never expected… and whose growing trust could unravel the very secret she is desperate to keep.
Jamie Kinross has returned from the navy with scars he does not speak of and a household he is trying to hold together by force of will alone. He does not want a governess who asks direct questions or looks at him as if she sees more than he intends to show. However, Eloise’s warmth and quiet determination begin to change his home, and challenge the solitude he has chosen…
When an unexpected visitor arrives with too much interest in the estate, Eloise and Jamie are drawn into a quiet struggle over loyalty, truth, and the fragile beginnings of trust. As old secrets threaten everything they have begun to build, can they overcome the past before it destroys their fragile romance?
