He’s a duke in disguise. She’s the barmaid he left behind—and the mother of his secret child.

One reckless night of passion changes everything for young barmaid Maggie Goode. Years later, she is a respectable widow struggling to save her fossil shop and provide for the daughter she loves more than anything. When fate leads her to the one man who can help her salvage her future, she comes face to face with the greatest mistake—and the deepest secret—of her life.

Born of a forbidden union between an English aristocrat and a Chinese merchant’s daughter, Rhys Cavendish, the Duke of Ranelagh and Somerville—known as Ransom—hides his secret pain behind a rakish façade. Now hunted by ruthless moneylenders and desperate to claim the inheritance his uncle left him in the form of a mysterious treasure map, he seeks assistance for a high-stakes expedition—only to discover the woman he never forgot—and the daughter he never knew he had.

As buried secrets ignite a scorching reunion, Maggie and Rhys must navigate hidden enemies, personal demons, and a perilous quest for treasure. But when the truth threatens to tear them apart, they must decide whether to risk everything for the greatest prize of all: a love worth fighting for.
