The heart needs a second chance.
Lady Beatrice Steele's heart is well guarded, or so she thought. She's immersed herself in the businesses her aunt left to her and her sisters. She's stepped into a new domain, one few women dare take on. Their male counterparts. She is well respected but there are a few who still think a woman's place is in the home.
The last person she expects to grace her door is the Marquess of Talisker. Augustus Keats, brother of her sister-in-law, Cora. Will her heart betray her?
Augustus Keats is recovering from a recent financial blow. His fledgling distillery needs an influx of cash so he might get his first release to market. He approaches Lady Beatrice in hopes she'll help him.
From that first meeting, he finds his heart still belongs to her. Can they set aside their past differences and take another chance on love and still work together?
Sometimes, absence makes the heart grow fonder.
