Balogh, Mary

After being stripped of her title upon learning her parents were never married, Camille Westcott steps aside as her newly discovered half-sister, Anna, asserts her role as the rightful heir to their father's fortune. Camille takes a teaching job at an orphanage where Anna grew up. There she meets an artist and part-time teacher named Joel, who finds her as incorrigible as she finds him. But under the hostility and frustration, a flame begins to burn, and soon the two cannot deny the passion they feel for one another.

Kit Butler, Viscount Ravensberg, is one of London's most infamous bachelors, and when his family demands he marry, he chooses the first woman he encounters, a fiercely independent woman who challenges him at every turn and teaches him about unconditional love.
