Rosalind Murphy never meant to start a scandal.
One moment she was an innocent schoolmistress at a parish picnic and the next she had a Biblical sculpture’s fig-parts broken off in her hand and the parish vicar caught with his fingers under her skirt.

Matthew Everly never meant to marry quite this way.
He’s long harbored a hopeless admiration for the kindhearted Presbyterian miss with the gentle smile and wide hazel eyes, but he never dreamed she’d end up his salvation.
Now, scandal has thrown them together, and propriety demands a wedding.
But what begins as her choice to protect him soon stirs into something far deeper—desire, devotion, and the terrifying possibility of real happiness.
