SummaryStephen Kenyon, the new Duke of Ashburton, has always known
exactly what society expected of him. But a doctor’s
grim diagnosis leaves him longing to experience life as
never before. Traveling incognito, he becomes entangled with
a wandering theater family and their spirited adopted
daughter, Rosalind Jordan. With no time to waste in
courtship, Stephen convinces Rosalind to marry him—an
arrangement that has advantages for both. The warm
companionship and profound passion they share is more than
Stephen expected, and far more than his family and his own
guarded nature ever allowed. But each passing, perfect day
together is a bittersweet reminder that love is the one
thing he is not at liberty to offer, and the one thing she
can never admit...
