Houston, Texas, 1905
Adeline Gray was once the center of attention, the spark of society, but one mistake gets her disowned by her family. She wants to leave Houston, but she needs a job and finds her salvation in the household of Keaton Hayes, working as a nanny to his recently orphaned and adorable nephews.
Keaton is a mystery, a bachelor, who is successful and chivalrous, and keeps every lady guessing. And Adeline is falling for him. She can't fall for him. She can't stay in Houston, surrounded by her past mistakes.
But there are more dangers lurking than just the fear of losing her heart, and Adeline must learn to fight back, or everything she could ever want will be gone forever.
