Was Caroline Sutcliffe the one woman who could fill the emptiness within?

 

At the age of eight and twenty, Sterling Wynd, Earl of Wyndham, left England.

 

Duty weighed heavily on him, and solemnity filled his soul. However, before he turned thirty, chose a suitable wife and went about begetting heirs, he wanted to do something for himself—see the world. Or at least the part that had made his family wealthy.

 

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 a handsome 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 deeply and passionately, 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?
