When her eccentric aunt suddenly dies and bequeaths her the key to a falling-down cottage in Cornwall, Lucy Westmore is surprised. After all, she scarcely knows her aunt, and her memories of Heathmore are murky, at best. But even more surprising is the part of Lucy's inheritance that doesn't come with a key: an old leather journal that provides the details of her mysterious aunt's life and-for better or worse-gives Lucy all the instructions she needs to live the life of a scandalous spinster. Lord Thomas Branston has spent the last five years in Cornwall, hiding from his painful past. Nothing has been tempting enough to lure him back to London until now. He alone knows the real value of the property, and he's determined to buy Heathmore before Miss Westmore ruins everything and sells it off to the highest bidder. Emboldened by the guidance in her aunt's diary, Lucy refuses to sell the property, not even when Lord Branston�s offers escalate, or when the house turns out to be truly uninhabitable. Lucy has no intention of giving up her one chance for independence. And Thomas has no intention of abandoning his suit. But is it the property or the spitfire of a spinster that�s got his heart all tied up? And what is he willing to offer for both?
