The Wish Club — Stella Cameron

As children, Max Rossmara, the son of a viscount, and Kirsty Mercer, a tenant farmer's daughter, were unlikely yet inseparable friends. Innocent to the demands of convention, they formed a club for wishing. And each had only one wish: to be together forever.

But Max's family pressured him to live in another world, and leave Kirsty behind. Now, changed from a gentle boy into a bitter man, he returns to his Scottish estate, swearing to make his childhood wish come true. And when he calls Kirsty to the castle to work as his assistant -- an unprecedented position for a woman -- she warily goes to his side. How familiar it feels ... and how soon pleasure becomes peril when they risk everything to wish again for a world that will let them love.

Hero: Max Rossmara
