Overview

United by love, two hearts must confront the secrets that threaten to unravel their bond. Louisa Thorpe is determined to leave her past mistakes behind and forge a new path as an independent woman free from her family, who is eager to see her wed. To this end, she obtains employment as a lady's companion. Despite her aversion to marriage and her firm resolve not to fall in love, she cannot deny the magnetic connection she develops with her employer's son, James Halverson. James recently inherited his father's title and is focused on fulfilling his duties in the House of Lords, leaving no time for romance. However, he can't help but be captivated--and delightfully unsettled--by Louisa's unconventional manners. When shocking revelations about his father's past challenge his perception of trust and duty, James finds himself questioning everything, including Louisa's loyalty. In this heartfelt tale of love, betrayal, and the fight for independence, will Louisa and James's love withstand the storm of secrets that may destroy them?

Author Information

Although Emily Opal didn't know writing books was in her future, she'd prepared for the eventuality her whole life. With her four sisters, she spent her childhood reading classical fiction, playing dress-up, and having tea parties. Growing up in a small town in Southern Nevada kindled wanderlust in Emily. Between studies at Brigham Young University where she graduated with a BA in humanities with an emphasis in English, she lived in Paris, Lisbon, and the Azores. During nearly twenty years of marriage, she and her husband have moved their family seventeen times between five states. They've lived in Boston, Washington DC, Dallas, and San Francisco, and they finally settled near Salt Lake City, Utah, where she enjoys mountain views, hiking, and biking, and she pretends to love skiing. Hollis McCarthy is a SAG-AFTRA actor and narrator who fights with swords. On TV, she's been a recurring guest star judge on CBS's Bull, the president of Ireland on Blue Bloods, and a senator in House of Cards. She's played major roles Off-Broadway, at the Old Globe, and in Shakespeare plays nationwide. Based in NYC, she's lived all over the country and specializes in comedy and dialects. She's narrated more than 280 audiobooks for Penguin Random House, Harper, Podium, Tantor, Audible, and other publishers. She's coauthor of the Magic of Larlion fantasy series by her mom, Dee Maltby, plays a mean game of softball, and is a die-hard Cleveland baseball fan.
