Lisa Berne's Penhallow Dynasty continues with a pair of star-crossed childhood friends who meet again years later—and find love where they least expect it . . .
Katherine Brooke may be a fabulously wealthy heiress but she's trapped a pawn in her parents' ruthless game to marry her into the nobility. Then Captain Hugo Penhallow—so charming as handsome as a Greek god—comes into her life once more and suddenly she sees a chance to be free.
As a Penhallow his is one of the highest names in the land but still his family is facing ruin. So Katherine boldly proposes an exchange: his name for her money. But only if Hugo understands it's merely a practical arrangement and that she's not surrendering herself entirely.
Back from eight years in America and determined to give his younger siblings a better life Hugo agrees. He's never fallen in love so why not? Yet neither of them guesses that this marriage will become far far more than they ever dreamed of . . .
