A wellrespected lady, Miss Sarah Carlyle wants nothing to do with the illgotten money her late father left her and her sisters. She's determined to give it all away, devoting her life to helping those less fortunate instead of marrying for wealth only to lounge all day in grand estate or attend extravagant balls. But when Charles's calamity lands him onboard Sarah's ship to England, their hearts become intertwined, Charles never suspecting the largesse of Sarah's wealth and Sarah never learning of Charles's ambitions. But one surprising revelation will test the bounds of their relationship . . . and reveal whether either of them can be trusted.
