What to expect

Harry Stillman cares nothing for his future and spends his time at gaming tables, horse races, and in the company of whatever beautiful woman has caught his eye that week. He has little use for society or his uncle’s approval—until his debts begin exceeding his profits. When Uncle Elliott refuses to pay off the debt and instead offers him a large, monetary wedding gift if Harry were to marry a woman of his uncle’s approval, Harry is offended, angry—and scared. His dire straits drives him to seek out the infamous Lord Damion—a money lender who extolls a heavy price for his assistance.

Lord Damion, however, is not a lord at all, or even a man. When Lady Sabrina’s cheating husband leaves her, then ends up dying in a carriage accident, she creates a plan to ensure her future security through the secret persona of Lord Damion, and she is quickly becoming the richest woman in England.

Knee-deep in secrets, both Harry and Sabrina must decide what true love means to them and how to navigate the pitfalls of English high society. In the end, both must decide which is more important: wealth or true love.

Critics Review

“Kilpack’s strong, upright heroine who finds a way to claim her power in Regency society sets this love story apart. This magnetic tale will appeal to fans of emotional romance.”

Publishers Weekly

“A desperate hero finds salvation with an older, wealthier heroine in an unusual twist on the typical romance power dynamic. Kilpack’s story will appeal to readers looking for themes of redemption and a mild sensuality.”

Library Journal

“Award-winning Kilpack deftly integrates such topics as spousal abuse and addiction into the compelling story line of her latest sweet love story. Fans of Mary Balogh’s traditional Regency romances will be captivated by this quietly powerful tale of faith, compassion, redemption, and love.”
