Five sons of an English duke, all raised in the Rocky Mountains...

A marriage born of duty. A love neither expected.

When Enoch Balfour's eldest brother tragically dies, the weight of family responsibility falls on his shoulders. Now this Montana rancher must train for his role as the next Duke of Clarence—and marry the mail-order bride his brother sent for. Hardened by loss, Enoch has no intention of opening his heart to a stranger, but duty demands he produce an heir.

Mandie Beaumont is a desperate young widow fleeing the sinister advances of her brother-in-law. After arriving in the Montana Territory to marry a man she's never met, an accident leaves her robbed of her recent memories—memories that conceal a devastating secret. When she discovers she's carrying a child conceived through betrayal and violence, Mandie fears rejection and ruin. Yet, in Enoch, she finds an unexpected protector whose fierce gentleness makes her long to trust again.

Though Mandie's charm and resilience begin to thaw Enoch's guarded heart, he struggles with his fear of loss. When Mandie's past resurfaces, Enoch must risk everything to save her. If he fails, Mandie will be torn from him—and the love they've begun to embrace could be lost forever.

From a USA Today bestselling author comes a royal family saga featuring a mail-order bride, amnesia, a secret baby, and an aristocratic marriage of convenience...all set in the rugged Montana Territory.
