As a baron's youngest son, Hector Somerville has no real prospects. He will not inherit, and he's overshadowed by two perfect brothers. While searching for ways to improve his situation, Hector finds respite in an invitation to a country estate-and has a second chance at rekindling his illicit affair with Viscount Wentworth, captain of HBMS Dragon. The upcoming fortnight could be everything Hector dreamed of since their disastrous parting.
Wentworth has forsaken love, and yet, memories of guilt and heartache resurface. He loved a boyhood friend once, Hector's older brother William, until the man left him, trampling his heart in the process. Years later, he wonders if he ever fell out of love. Is his heart bound by William, or can he create a life with Hector?
