Edward Beaufort, the Duke of Wessex, has traveled across an ocean in the midst of a war to find his little brother and heir. Having lost his own wife and son, Edward knows he must mend the breach between David and their family—especially if David is to one day assume the dukedom. Instead of welcoming him joyously, however, his brother wants nothing to do with Edward. Widowed by the redcoats four years before, Helen Carter’s primary concern is providing for her children. Fortunately, her brother-in-law David has taken her family into his home and sees to their every material need. When David’s brother appears and his pitiable attempts to reconcile with David fall short, Helen agrees to help the poor duke in his lost cause. A notorious rake ill at ease around children, Edward is nothing Helen would want, were she ever to remarry. But their platonic camaraderie grows into something deeper. If he ever hopes to win back his brother and to earn Helen’s love, Edward must prove he’s no longer a man who could only break hearts.
