About the book
There were two great loves in her life..
Louise's love for her beautiful home, Queen's Dower, was as solid and unchangeable as the house itself.
But her love for her stepbrother, Daniel, had subtly evolved over the years. While she had adored him during her childhood, she now loved him with a woman's passion.
She couldn't let Daniel hold her at arm's length, shut her out of his life. She didn't want any other man. She belonged with Daniel, just as she belonged at Queen's Dower. And it would always be that way!
