Andrew Alexander, Earl of Greymoor, has tried to run from memories of a boating tragedy that claimed the lives of several loved ones, and from an attraction to pretty, petite, Astrid Worthington. He returns to England to find Astrid widowed, expecting a child, and more irresistibly lovely than ever.


When it becomes apparent that Astrid needs a husband who can keep her and her unborn child safe, Andrew must decide if old nightmares will continue to control his life, or if his regard for Astrid entitles him to a second chance at happiness-and love.
