What happens when a twist of fate turns into an undeniable destiny?

A reluctant guardian…
When a tragic carriage accident claims his uncle, Alan Hardin finds himself the third Earl of Halsburg with the unexpected guardianship of two sisters, fulfilling a long-ago promise made by his uncle to a dear friend. The last thing Alan wants is to be a guardian, especially when the elder sister is beautiful, spirited, and of marriageable age.

An undaunted ward…
With the death of her beloved father, Elizabeth Rollins and her young sister find themselves at the mercy of a spiteful stepmother and isolated from friends and the life they had known until an unexpected guardian appointed by her late father arrives to literally save the day. Instead of a sweet, doting, elderly gentleman, Elizabeth is surprised to meet a young, handsome, and charming earl. But when Elizabeth’s stepmother contrives to move her previously banned son back home, Elizabeth must do everything she can to escape his greedy clutches. Will Elizabeth fall victim to her stepbrother’s marriage scheme or will Alan go from guardian to groom?
