A War-Weary Soldier... Returning from war, Charles Dryden anticipates his new life. He has a relationship to mend with Arianna, a daughter he's not quite is his, and her governess is determined he'll be a good father. Charles doesn't appreciate Miss Montgomery's bossy ways, and is annoyed she won't let him help her with her own worries. Can their faux engagement persuade the stubborn minx what's real in his heart? That he wants to love her for the rest of their lives?
