When a spirited young woman approaches a cynical nobleman with a proposal that challenges everything he thought he wanted, neither expects the magic that unfolds between them in glittering Regency London. Nicki du Ville has built walls around his heart, convinced that happiness is beyond his reach—until Julianna Skeffington's boldness and warmth begin to crack through his defenses. Their unexpected connection will test whether two people who've learned to protect themselves can actually believe in second chances. Perfect for fans of the Westmoreland Dynasty saga, this e-novella delivers the swoony romance and emotional depth McNaught fans crave in one perfectly satisfying package.
