wants is to be
left alone and forget that most of her heart went with him when he passed.
Instead, she finds herself the subject of many a matchmaking scheme and lurid
offer to ease her widowhood, as well as save her fading fortune. Desperate to
avoid having to remarry, she takes on a position as a tutor, only to discover
that the man she’s helping unexpectedly stirs her heart and passion.
    Nash
Wolverton boxed his way out of the London slums and into immense wealth, but he
couldn’t care less about Society’s approval. Except he has his by-blow
daughter’s future to consider. To ensure her acceptance into Society, he’ll
endure anything―including procuring a tutor to transform him into a
gentleman so he can secure a suitable, boring wife.
    Yet
what he wants changes the moment he hires Julianna. She may be a lady, but
she’s far from tedious. Bold and compassionate, she is nothing like the women
of the ton . Suddenly, she’s elicited a simmering desire in him, and even
a longing to love and be loved that he always thought out of his reach. Knowing
what he planned to settle for can now never be enough, he vows to win her love.
But as the walls she’s built begin to crumble, Julianna’s fears threaten to
tear them apart and she alone must decide if protecting her heart trumps
breaking Nash’s.
