Rose Woodcourt, a poor seamstress, is too proud to accept help, even when her home and freedom are threatened. Especially not from Hunter Thorne, a titled gentleman far above her station. Earl's only court common misses for one reason, and Rose has no interest in being a wealthy man's mistress—however handsome and charming he may be.
Hunter is an honorable man; he refuses to turn his back on the spirited beauty regardless of how hard she pushes him away. As Rose's situation becomes more dire, Hunter's heart becomes involved. Now he must choose between protecting his heart or the damsel in distress.
Is there a way forward for an Earl and a seamstress in love?
