Taking a job as an executive secretary was a surprise, to say the least. Carolyne Bancroft hasn't exactly led an exemplary life. When Lord Waldgrave offered her the position, however, there was no way she could turn the opportunity down. It certainly offered a step up in the right direction. With His Lordship's disappearance, however, everything is in turmoil, and she's uncertain of her place and her future. Meeting his grandson and only living heir throws her even further off kilter. She never banked on falling for a rake like him in the midst of such a troubling mystery. Now she only hopes she can keep her secrets to herself before she's found out. Or falls any harder.
Bentley Cuthbert was brought up in the lap of luxury as a member of a titled British family. And it was hell on earth. Orphaned at the age of six and ripped away from the only life he had ever known, he was raised by his overbearing grandfather. It was no wonder then that he eventually ran away to join the military as soon as he was able. He made his name as a sniper in service to Her Majesty, but that didn't feel like the right fit either. It wasn't until he found his place at Arc Industries in America that he discovered where he truly belonged-that he finally found a family again. Now, however, he's back in England, searching for his missing grandfather, fighting the pull of this woman he didn't even know existed, and sorting through a life he never even wanted in order to finally put the pieces back together of his lost . . . heritage.
