The Aristocrat's Wife
A desperate journey in disguise uncovers new possibilities . . .
In New York City's Gilded Age, Georgie St. John is barely content with her strict life under the tight rule of an arranged marriage. Until now. When she's accused of having an affair and no one believes her innocent of the charges, Georgie has no choice but to leave the sheltered life she knows behind.
Georgie goes in search of her long-lost brother through a country still rebuilding after the American Civil War, cautiously and without leaving a trail to follow. Anthony is the only family she has and the one person who can help her now. But a woman traveling alone is more dangerous than staying in a society whose turned against her, and she disguises herself as someone she isn't.
When Georgie meets a group heading for Texas, the very place where she might find her brother, she leaps at the opportunity. She doesn't anticipate the risks she'll face or how many times brooding cowboy Rooke Preston will save her. She has no business losing her heart to another, but weeks on the trail push them closer and she discovers strength in herself she never knew.
The further the life she knows falls behind her, the more Georgie questions her future. Unless she finds her brother and another course forward. But will she find happiness along the way instead?
