Sarah Pennington has just been sacked from her position at Hopkins’ Bookshop, and if she doesn’t fine a new position fast, she’ll know the pang of hunger. Again.

When a famous adventurer enters the shop looking for a rare and priceless book, Sarah finds the key to her future—she’ll beat the baron and win the book for herself.

Henry Cavendish, Baron Eaden returns home in search of a rare copy of Gulliver’s Travels. He expects to obtain his goal effortlessly.

He doesn’t expect to compete against a lovely-eyed widow to win the book. Her determination and passion reveal a prize of greater value—the widow herself.
