A historical Regency period romance set primarily in London. The life of Deran Morissey, Earl of Atherton, upends when Ava Fychon is dumped in his hall, sopping wet from her swim in the Thames. He doesn’t believe her tale of being kidnapped from her home in Wales and brought to England to be sold, yet grudgingly agrees to help locate her missing siblings. And takes the journey of his life, falling in love with the high spirited Ava, a woman he cannot have.
