Knowing her father would never consent to his only daughter marrying a man he deemed beneath their family&’s station, Charlotte bid her final farewell to Anthony and vowed never to turn back. Instead, she honored her father&’s wishes by marrying the wealthy Roland Prior.Determined to put his love for Charlotte in the past, Anthony chose to immerse himself in a life full of meaning—first as a soldier fighting a war overseas, then as a member of William Walstead&’s watchmen, a rugged band of men dispatched to deal with perilous situations. Fearless and persistent, he makes it his life&’s focus to fight for those who can&’t fight for themselves.When Charlotte&’s husband dies unexpectedly, she quickly realizes how blind she&’d been to his nefarious ambitions and how many people he&’d angered on his relentless quest for wealth. To protect her infant son, Henry, from those who wish him harm, she and the baby flee to Hollythorne House, her childhood home. There Charlotte comes face-to-face with her former love, who has been sent as one of the hired watchman to protect her and Henry until the details of her late husband&’s estate are settled.Anthony&’s presence brings back feelings she never expected to have again, and she struggles to trust his intentions. Are the watchmen really looking after Charlotte as they claim—or are they looking to make trouble for Roland&’s estate and heir? Despite the constant reminders of their past, Anthony must remain focused on the task he was hired to do.
