“A secret past. A chance encounter. A love that changes everything.
Colt Williamson never knew his father’s secret. Raised as a rancher’s son in America, he was unaware of his noble heritage — until tragedy strikes, leaving him not only reeling from his father’s death but also with a bum leg. Forced by his mother to journey to the elegant city of Bath for healing, whispers of his striking resemblance to a long-lost earl begin to spread, and Colt finds himself caught between the rugged life of an American rancher and the duty of stepping into his father’s title.
Penelope Sinclair has always viewed the world through rose-colored glasses. The daughter of a haberdasher, she enjoys her simple life, working alongside her family and spending time outdoors with her beloved nephew. But when she crosses paths with the surly American rancher, she finds a new passion in life, helping someone else find happiness.
Never before has she encountered someone so determined to reject life’s joys, or the love and help others offer, and she’s determined to change that. Can she help him adjust to a life he never wanted, all while discovering a love neither of them expected?”

My Review
England is worlds away from what Colt Williamson is used to. Will he return to what is familiar or forge a new path with Penny Sinclair by his side?
Colt sure was surly. But it was understandable given his grief, pain, and having to navigate an unfamiliar place. He was very much a fish out of water. Thankfully, he found a friend and something more in Penny. And his friendship with John was so sweet.
It was refreshing and a little funny to see Regency England from the point of view of a Texan and, conversely, to see the English people’s reaction to a Texan 😆
While the majority of the plot is about Colt learning to fit in and his romance with Penny, things got very susenseful toward the end 😮💨
I hope we’ll get to see more of James and Isabelle, as well as find out what happens with Eleonore and William.

“Colt nudged the custard closer to her and nodded toward the bowl. ‘You can have my dessert whenever you like, Penny. After all, a stolen dessert is a fair price to pay for such sweet company.’“

“…and for the first time in a long while, Colt felt truly content — with where he was, who he was, and, most of all, who he wanted to become.“
