Hearth or Heart

'The charm, the wit, and the careful historical texture will enchant Regency readers'

He needs her discretion. She needs his protection. But desire has a way of complicating everything.

When Effie Bowman's father dies, she and her eight sisters are left with nothing. Their only hope lies with Mr Thornaby, the new custodian of the estate — a man whose wild reputation could ruin them all.

To save her family, Effie must reform him. But she can't do it alone.

Enter Sir John Callander: wealthy, powerful, and utterly uninterested in remarriage. He agrees to help — reluctantly.

But as Effie draws Sir John deeper into her desperate plans, the lines between duty and desire begin to blur.

Is she trying to tame the wrong gentleman?
