When the past and present collide, there are always consequences…

Aurelia Beswick’s life hangs by a thread. Penniless and alone, she grasps at her last hope: a position as a governess far from London. Little does she know that fate has a cruel twist in store. Her new employer is none other than Lord Ryland—a man from her past she never expected to see again. Luckily, he doesn’t seem to remember her.

Determined to keep her position, Aurelia finds herself walking a precarious line, keeping her identity a secret while every interaction with Lord Ryland seems to draw them closer together.

At the heart of this delicate balance is Lord Ryland’s son, a sweet boy who brings Aurelia and Lord Ryland together with their mutual love for him. But as bonds strengthen and walls crumble, Aurelia must face an impossible choice: continue her charade or risk losing everything she’s fought so hard to gain.
