The Irish Rose and the Widowed Earl of Thornwyck

Miss Nessa Kavanaugh has spent her life between two worlds, still searching for the place where she belongs.

After her companion dies without warning on a visit to Thornwyck Hall, Nessa is left alone in an unfamiliar country until the woman's will asks that she stay on as housekeeper to the nephew they came to see.

That nephew is Lord Alaric Montfort, Earl of Thornwyck, a widower who has spent two years hiding from the guilt and unanswered questions around his wife's mysterious death.

Nessa's kindness starts to soften the reserve he has built, and the two find an unexpected comfort in one another.

Thornwyck Hall, however, is full of secrets about Nessa's past and about the wife Alaric lost, and those truths may break the fragile trust between them before either is ready to face what comes next.
