Jade Rockford was in the throes of grief when she learned she was now the countess of a place called Rockhaven. A place that had been in Rockford hands for over seven hundred years. She was the last. She was also an American and knew nothing of the family's ancient history. She took it lightly and wanted to refuse, but Peter wouldn't allow it. He wanted her to go, if only for the diversion from grief.
Before she even sets eyes on Rockhaven, she is confronted by Ryse Norman. It's obvious he doesn't like her and she learns there are many reasons for that. Not the least of which is that he disapproves of her plans. But initial impressions are often misleading and passion can take many forms. The early battle lines start to blur and disappear. But the one thing neither of them can ignore is that Jade and Rockhaven are inseparable. Ryse must decide which is more important and Jade must decide if she can trust that decision.
