As an art restorer, Miss Delaney, visited the Rokesby Castle to restore the precious paintings of a reluctant Duke. She had never been between people of the upper class but her manners and remarkable beauty will restore even the Duke's heart...

She's beautiful, unconventional, with a dazzling intelligence, and a heart full of love to give. In his eyes, she's a portrait of perfection, and he's irresistibly drawn to her. But he's vowed never to love again. A storm rages in his heart every time they meet, as he fights against himself for the right to love her. How can he know that a mystery is set on bringing them together?
Max Midwinter, the handsome Duke of Rokesby, is lord of his castle above the sea. Lonely and bitter, he punishes himself for a past misdeed, swearing off love forever. When Leonie Delaney unexpectedly enters his life to restore a priceless painting, he experiences feelings he thought long dead. He's tossed on a sea of anguish, struggling against himself to heal his wounded heart and win the lasting happiness he craves with the woman he adores . . . with a little unseen help.
Leonie Delaney is a skilled art restorer, sent to Rokesby Castle to restore precious artwork for the Midwinter family. It's her first job without her uncle. How will the family react to a lone woman taking on the task? Receiving a chilly reception from the devilishly handsome but ill-tempered Duke of Rokesby, the usually confident initially Leonie fears him. But something, or someone, draws them together, and Leonie finds herself falling for the wounded duke. Convinced he can never love a mere restorer of paintings and is meant for another, Leonie fights to reign in her feelings. When Leonie's life is endangered by another's malice and she encounters a mysterious savior, the couple's mutual love is unleashed at last.
