Nothing is what it seems, and she has no one she can trust.
Rosalee Milton never imagined that she'd go from a wealthy heiress to a woman in hiding, but that's just what happened. Now, she's living in a boarding house where the well meaning but nosy woman who runs the place is determined to set her up with someone. The last thing Rosalee has ever wanted is marriage, but it might be the only thing that saves her life.
Aaron Woods loathes the Milton family. He's been forced to work off a false debt by her father, and now the man demands the unthinkable. Secretly protect his daughter on a trip East. If he does, Aaron's debt will be cleared. If he fails, he'll be in jail. Getting too close might give away his true mission, but it also might be the only way to keep her safe.
Complications arise as each realizes that the very things they've been running from are no longer avoidable. Will Rosalee let herself fall in love with the man who vowed to protect her? Or will Aaron walk away, letting his feelings for her father come between them?
