Death runs rampant in Victorian London, yet one viscount never expected it to strike at him so harshly, stealing his love and turning him into Lord Misery. How can a man prepare for the unimaginable? Jameson Carlyle Turner’s life has been topsy-turvy, from illegitimacy to titled nobility, from a solitary gambler to a happily married husband. When bent steel and a horrific wreckage upend his world, he buries his beloved along with his heart and his happiness. This lady won’t take no for an answer. Maisie Darrow understands grief all too well. She also knows the only way to move on with one’s life is to jump back in with both feet. Longing to help the distraught viscount, she could certainly fall in love, but her own hopes for happiness are dashed by a mysterious letter from home. A devastated viscount and a wounded soul… Having already loved and lost, Lord Misery vows neither time nor Miss Darrow’s sunny smile will wear down his grief-hardened walls, for he knows he cannot survive another blow. And she seems a tad more reckless than most! Can she convince him to risk his shattered heart again, despite the uncertainty that swirls around her? Engaging characters, attention to period detail, and passionate romance with a touch of intrigue—you’ll find it all in the stories by USA Today bestselling writer Sydney Jane Baily.
