Finding an instant friendship with his daughter, Fleur, the two of them eagerly await a garden party to be held on the fine estate of the young and handsome Duke of Calder. But when she first meets him, Georgina is certain that she knows him from somewhere, she just cannot place the handsome man anywhere in her memory. Emerson Lockhart is a man with a secret. Now the Duke of Calder, he is painfully aware that he was not always so. And when he meets Miss Georgina Jeffries again after more than ten years, he is relieved to realize that she does not recognize him as the boy who was once a servant in her home; the boy who had once been her only friend. But when the Duke lets his old nickname for her slip, Georgina finds herself spiraling back in time, instantly remembering young Sammy White, the servant boy and childhood friend who had disappeared so suddenly and without explanation so many years before.

Bridget Barton was born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas. She has studied English Literature in college and after a brief passage in journalism as a newspaper writer, she stirred her career to what she always loved: becoming an author! She has always been intrigued by rascals, vagabonds, dukes and rogues, so having the chance to write stories about them is a wish come true for her! Bridget is married to her own prince charming and is the proud mother of two daughters (and three adorable kittens) and soon to be a grandma! She is a hopeless romantic who devours romance literature and of course enjoys writing love stories of her own. When she is not writing, Bridget is relaxing by cooking for her lovely husband, exercising and listening to soft music. Bridget loves to connect with her readers! With love and respect, Bridget Barton
