When headstrong West Indian heiress Patience Jordan questioned her English husband's mysterious suicide, she lost everything - most devastatingly, her newborn son, Lionel. Falsely persecuted, she risks her life to be near him, disguising herself as her own son's nanny. But working for his unsuspecting new guardian, Busick Strathmore, Duke of Repington, has perils of its own. Especially when Patience discovers his strictness belies an ex-rake of unswerving honour - and unexpected passion. Repington is determined to resolve his dead cousin's dangerous financial dealings for Lionel's sake. But that's minor compared to dealing with the forthright, courageous, and alluring Patience. Somehow, she's breaking his rules, and sweeping past his defences. Soon, between enemies and obstacles, they form a fragile trust - but will it be enough to save the future they long to dare together?
