Description

She's determined to chart her own course. He's desperate to save his estate. But love may be the most unexpected complication of all…

Lady Victoria Barrett is frustrated with her parents who have rejected every suitor after four Seasons in London. When she unexpectedly inherits Wood Hall, a modest country estate, she sees her chance at independence at last—even if it means learning to run a farm. She knew she would have to deal with men who didn't believe a woman could run an estate, but she'd hoped her handsome neighbor would be different.
Thomas, Earl of Brentwood, has a title, responsibility—and flooded fields. His tenants' lands are unfarmable, and the only way out he can see is to buy the unoccupied neighboring estate. All he has to do is find its owner and get in touch with her. And then Lady Victoria moves in.
A battle of wills, a fight for independence, and trying to do the right thing—Victoria and Thom just can't stay away from each other. And when they begin to understand each other, it's the world that forces them apart. Surely, there is some way for everyone to get what they want, and what they need.
Perfect for fans of witty banter, slow-burn romance, and strong-willed heroines who refuse to back down.
