Forced into a corner, Giulia must contrive a way to convince him to allow her to remain, just long enough to figure out where to go next. Nicholas never asked for an earldom, but when an aged lord arrives at his door and tells Nicholas that he is next in line for the title, he willingly goes to Halstead Manor to learn the role. But someone isn't pleased with the heir, and after a gunshot wound in the arm, Nicholas must discover who is out to get him. When Giulia stumbles--literally--over a fallen man on the lane to Halstead, she has her asnwer: she can stay at Halstead and nurse her uncle's heir back to health. But as mystery builds and danger mounts, will Giulia and Nicholas be able to solve the puzzle before the Earl forces Giulia to leave for good? And furthermore, can they manage to work together without losing their hearts in the process?"--Back cover. 20211011. Young women England Fiction. Uncles England Fiction. Nobility England Fiction.
