When a lovely American guardian chases her young charge, Leo, into his room at the inn, Hadrian’s outlook abruptly changes: “The world faded as he stared at the vision standing before him.” Natalie and Leo barely survived a vicious attack on their American frontier mission by renegade British soldiers. Hadrian thinks little of women in general-they pout, plead, scheme, and simper-but recognizes that at age 29, it is time for him to produce an heir. The prospective union has long had the blessing of both the Earl of Godwin, who fostered Hadrian as a child after his father died, and Hadrian’s late father himself. Hadrian Ames, Duke of Clayton, is on his way to the village of Whitnash to court 18-year-old Lady Ellen Godwin when an ice storm forces him to take shelter at an inn. Second in a historical romance series featuring dukes who fall for governesses.
