Lady Juliette is in need of a hero. Which is odd for her because she’s spent her life as first an independent bluestocking and then defiantly chose spinsterhood over marriage. But since striking out on her own she’s been…lost. She can’t go back to her old life and the path forward that had seemed so clear before had become as muddled and grey as the fog that rolls in off the ocean where she conducts her research. Which way should she go? But just when she’s at her darkest a ray of light appears in the form of Mr. Jonathon Richmond. A boat owner, he takes her out to sea where she can finally complete the work she needs. It all seems simple enough, as does the attraction building between her and the fisherman. But he’s far more than he appears and his real identity just might break the tender bond developing between them. Is he the answer to her prayer or the shortest way to a broken heart?
