He'll never risk his heart again, and is happy to abide by his late father's wishes and marry his neighbor's daughter to save their family from the poorhouse. But fate has other ideas when his best friend's spinster sister arrives at his door. Lady Emma is all grown up, and for the first time since his wife's death his passions are stirred. It would be so easy to give into her request. But when Emma stirs more than his lust, can he protect his battered heart and fulfil his vow to his father.
