Lord Edington is torn between two responsibilities, one to the crown and one to his family. Heaven knew he already had more than enough reasons to be angry at the world. Years of war, the loss of his wife, and two young daughters who barely knew him. And now, after helping to win the war, the powers that be want to have him abandon his girls and return to the continent to help form the peace. He is at a loss for a solution until Miss Abigail Nelson comes into their lives.Miss Abigail Nelson had dreamt of a life of travel and adventure. Instead, she was living in a stone cottage, outside the village of High Wycombe. With no prospects of marriage, it appears as if she will be an endless burden on her impoverished aunts.After saving two young girls from drowning, Abby is amazed to discover that their large, gruff father is a Viscount. A widower at a loss on how to raise daughters. Little girls didn't need a father that reminded a person of a large bear with a thorn in his paw. But, it is his marriage proposal that truly shocks her. A simple arrangement, she would raise his daughters, and he would raise her out of poverty. A life with wealth but no love. Could she make it work without losing her heart?
