Change: it’s necessary for life to progress, and yet most of us resist or fear it. How do we know which essentials should remain the same and which we should let go of to make room for something better? The period of the Great Reform Act of 1832 has always fascinated me for that reason: men of honour and conscience held radically opposing views of what change should take place.

For Giles Hadley, estranged son of an earl, restricting the power of the aristocracy—including the father who rejected him and his mother—has very personal overtones. On the opposing side, Lady Margaret Roberts, daughter of a conservative marquess, grew up with a love of the land and a deep sense of responsibility towards the people who live on it.

Maggie and Giles agree on almost nothing—except a desire to give full rein to the passion that flares between them. Neither the widowed Maggie, who lost her true love and refuses to risk her heart again, nor the embittered Giles, product of a marriage gone horribly wrong, has any interest in more than a mutually agreeable interlude.

But passion—and love—don’t follow rules or preferences. When a mysterious attacker puts Maggie in danger, prematurely ending their liaison, both the conservative lady and the liberal lord must decide whether they dare risk a radical change of view in order to claim the love of a lifetime.

I hope you’ll enjoy their journey.
