The Earl Sent Away the Old Man Who Taught Him to Ride — On His Wedding Day His Bride Rode Down to...

What does a nobleman do with the old man who taught him everything — once that man is no longer useful? And what happens when the woman given no choice but to shelter him refuses to let him be forgotten? When the Earl of Dunmore cleared out his stables, he sent his aging groom to a broken-down cottage at the far edge of his land — with a condition attached to the lease. A young widow named Rosalind Kemp needed the roof over her head badly enough to accept it. What neither of them knew was how far that decision would reach before the year was out. • A widow with nothing left but her late husband's tools takes in an old man the Earl wants erased — and builds something neither of them expected • A notice posted on the village church door and the market cross tries to silence them both — and fails • On the morning of his wedding, the Earl's bride rides down the frozen lane alone, and nothing at Dunmore Hall is ever quite the same again Every door on this estate was locked against them. Then one morning the man who locked them stood in the frost and held out the keys.
