To his surprise, when he comes into possession of an old family estate, he finds himself unexpectedly drawn to the idea of putting down roots. But what does he know about running an estate?Fortunately for him, the estate already has a marvelously competent steward. What he doesn't know is that the miracle worker who saved the estate from bankruptcy is in fact a woman, Lady Alys Weston, who has managed to hide her true sex from the previous absentee owner for years.It is at this point that the sheer brilliance of Ms. Putney's characterization turns this love story into something extraordinary, as Reggie is forced to look inside of himself and make excruciatingly difficult choices about his future. Will he find the strength to do what is necessary for the woman he comes to love so deeply?Few other characters in romantic fiction have left as lasting an impression on the genre as Reginald Davenport.
