When Rosalie Waters receives the heartbreaking news that her beloved Aunt Elizabeth has only a short time to live, her world narrows to a single to grant her best friend's final request. Elizabeth begs Rosalie to accompany her to Somerset... to find the man she loved and lost, a man whose memory still stirs her heart. Rosalie agrees, unaware that the journey will reshape her life as profoundly as it eases her aunt’s passing. At Alderleigh Hall, Rosalie meets Edgar Summerfield, a duke’s humble steward. A man of quiet dignity and hidden sorrow, Edgar possesses a presence so steady, so unexpectedly magnetic, that he leaves both women Elizabeth with recognition, and Rosalie with an awakening she never anticipated.
