The last thing he wants is to find a wife and decides that hiring a governess is the best solution to his predicament.
Emma soon begins to break down the walls surrounding Robert’s heart. As they spend time together, their relationship blossoms into something more. But when Emma receives devastating news from home, she has no other choice but to return to Whitehaven. Will Robert finally be able to overcome his insecurities and fight for what his heart truly desires?
