Rosamunde Overton has to find a father for a child to help protect her husbands' estate. He himself is unable to father a child and no child threatens the estate. The man she finds is injured and willing but they can't help but be attracted to each other.
It's fun and interesting and I really did care for the characters. I could see her dilemma throughout and I liked the way the story flowed.
