About This Book
A man with nothing finds everything.
Abandoned at birth, WWI veteran Hal Stanton faces bleak employment prospects in post-war London. Desperation spurs him to reinvent himself to hook a wealthy wife, one he will be devoted to even if he feels no real passion. But when he meets his fiance's cousin, Julian Needham, it's all he can do to keep his heart in check and his eye on the prize.
From the moment he's introduced to the charming stranger Margaret plans to marry, Julian suspects the man's motives yet fights a relentless attraction. He's determined to reveal Hal as a fraud but must handle the matter delicately to protect his sweet cousin's feelings. A weekend at the family estate should allow time and opportunity for him to expose Halstead Wiley.
Even as the men match wits in a battle of attempted unmasking, powerful sexual attraction threatens to overcome them both and win the day. Can a true love connection possibly grow between these adversaries without destroying lives and loved ones?
