She loves heroes who struggle against all odds and heroines who are ahead of their time. A former teacher with a degree in history, she finds there’s nothing better than being able to combine her love of the past with a die-hard belief in happy endings.

But the Duke of Ballycannon Castle in Connemara, Ireland, has invited the duchess to visit?and as the duchess cannot travel, she has insisted Aurelia go in her stead. Except when Lia arrives, everyone mistakes her for the duchess?and it's clear the family who owns crumbling Ballycannon were hoping to match the widowed duchess with Alexander Fennessy, future Duke of Pierpont. But when Alex learns the truth of Lia's identity, he has an...unusual request.
