The Heiress

About This Book

For Emma Lambert, a wealthy widow who married to save her family from poverty, wealth means nothing without the man she has always loved. Michael Hayden, fourth son of an earl, has been badly injured in the war. When he returns home, a family tragedy has made him the earl — and suddenly a desirable catch on the marriage mart.

Can Emma reawaken his heart, or has she lost the one great love of her life forever?

The Heiress is a Regency romance about reunion, loss, and the difficulty of recovering something that was never properly held in the first place. For readers who want emotional depth alongside the pleasures of the period setting — class dynamics, social obligation, and the particular constraints on what women could say and do with their feelings.
