Description

Just when a musician finds romance in Regency England, scandal strikes a false note…

Simon Thorn is on the run from his past.

Blessed with charm, Simon has never met a stranger—but he avoids old friends. Once a metalworker, he has transformed himself into a skilled musician…who loses his post to an ill-timed scandal. To save himself from ruin, he must win over a beautiful artisan—and her hedgehog.

Rowena Fairweather is facing an impossible future.

Last in a family of brilliant musical-instrument builders, Rowena has inherited a noble legacy—and crushing debt. She'll try anything to save her livelihood, even (all right, especially) working with the charming rogue at her doorstep. But if Simon and Rowena fall in love, his mysterious past will put their future at risk…
