Synopsis

Gareth Lockheart is one of the richest men in England, but it will also take a proper country estate and an aristocratic wife with impeccable connections to gain entrée into the corridors of power. Gareth is determined to find the right woman the same way he does everything: using logic and mathematics.

Serena Lombard might be the widow of a duke's son, but she's always existed on the ton's fringes. The unconventional French émigré has worked hard to create a secure home for her son and has struggled to establish herself as a sculptor and landscape gardener.

Gareth should have known doing business with a woman would be a mistake—especially a far too appealing French widow who manages to destroy his ability to concentrate.

Serena loves the project she has been hired to do; it's too bad the man himself is so remote and unreadable. Not to mention utterly captivating.

The only thing they can agree on is that they should avoid becoming entangled. But when Serena's dangerous past catches up with her, it is Gareth she turns to for help and he doesn't hesitate to give it. But can a man who needs order give himself up to the most unpredictable emotion of all: Love?

Contains mature themes.

About S.M. LaViolette

S. M. LaViolette also writes historical romance under the name Minerva Spencer and historical mystery under the name S. M. Goodwin.

Unlike many authors, S. M. hasn't wanted to be a writer since she was knee-high to a grasshopper. In fact, she's a very late bloomer and didn't write her first book until she was forty-five. That book, Dangerous, came out in 2018, the year S. M. turned 50. She is living proof that it is never too late to try something brand new.

Since 2018 she has published fifteen books and two novellas, one which is included in an anthology with mega bestselling author Sylvia Day.

S. M. has worked as a college history teacher, bed and breakfast owner, criminal prosecutor, and bartender (her favorite job next to writing). S. M. now writes full time and lives with her husband and multiple animals in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. When she's not writing she's cleaning out chicken coops, crafting, or reading.

And Minerva did it again with another interesting, exciting historical romance story. Though it doesn't explicitly say so, I loved how we got a male MC on the autistic spectrum. A......more

Just as the previous book in the series. A lovely romance and a lovely hero! I liked very much that he a geek and his being befuddled with a normal human interactions. He just don't understand them! It was almost funny, but also very sad. He just doesn't understand why people don't speak plainly! Also......more

Goodreads review by Nessa on November 01, 2021

THIS HELD PROMISE, BUT WHILE MANY RAVED OVER IT....I FELT THAT IT LACKED A TYPE OF CONNECTION BETWEEN THE MCs TO MAKE IT ALL REAL. GARETH is the kind of character I like. Stiff, quiet and wants absolutely nothing to do with society though he lacked the tall, dark and brooding stereotype. He reminded......more
