Robert Carrow thought himself heir to an earldom until discovering he had an older brother. Born with developmental disabilities, Benedict disappeared at birth. Robert means to find him. Meeting Jane Winter and her brother, Ben, Robert suspects his search is over, but he's injured by a runaway coach, the latest in a series of accidents. Jane nurses him and their feelings for each other grow. To protect her daughter, unmarried mother Jane poses as a widow. Despite her attraction to Robert, she fears his enquiries may tear her family apart. Worse, whoever is behind his "accidents" may hurt Ben, too, thinking he's the lost Carrow heir. Can they stay safe long enough to uncover whose brother is Ben? Hers? Or his?
