These Armstrongs tend to buck convention, and the Fitzpatricks are ready for the customary to be modernized.

Fast forward twelve years, and an ugly form of jealousy and contention between Clive and Geoffrey Fitzpatrick emerges from the rock-like ideal. Their sibling rivalry puts sculptress, Faye Armstrong, in the middle, and the ensuing courtship ruse takes some unexpected turns. Will the brothers carve and shape a peace? Or will everyone be shattered? Sweet and clean historical fiction with a modern twist
