Book #1

 At the age of eight and twenty, Sterling Wynd, Earl of Wyndham, left      England. Duty weighed heavily on him, however, before he turned      thirty, chose a suitable wife and went about begetting heirs, he wanted      to do something for himself-see the world. Caroline Sutcliffe had      once loved deeply. She'd married quickly and her husband soon went off to war. But after receiving word of his death, and finding herself alone, she returned to her father and the Cape Good Hope to carve out a new life for herself and her daughter. She had not expected to meet an English Lord filled with duty and in possession of so little humor. Further, she could not understand why she was drawn to him. Yet, Caroline knew that she could love Sterling, but she feared he was not capable of either. Will Sterling find a way to open his heart and let go of his control or will he lose the one woman who could fill the emptiness within?
