A lady discovers that the monster of her nightmares might be the hero of her dreams.

Miss Lydia Lovell is on a quest for justice. For years, Lord Greystone’s tenants have suffered at his hands. While he abandoned his estate to rusticate abroad, poverty crippled those who depend upon him. Now Greystone has come home, and Lydia is determined to make him pay.

Lord Greystone has returned to England with one purpose in mind: to exact revenge on those who tarnished his mother’s reputation. But an unexpected encounter with a spirited woman at the manor’s gates throws his plans into disarray.

But Lydia has more to worry about than Greystone’s tenants. Her cunning sister-in-law wants control over her inheritance and is plotting ways to accomplish her goal. Worse still, Lydia cannot fight her attraction to Greystone, the man she’s spent years despising.
