The Dowager Duchess (The London Railroad Society)

He’s new to the ton. She’s a young widow. When an American ranch owner inherits a title he never wanted, will he give up wide-open spaces for love? London, 1817. Luke Griffiths is biding his time to go home. Uninterested in staying in England, the stoic cowboy-turned-earl has made the trip across the pond to ensure his tenants’ well-being before returning to Texas. But then he meets a charming lady with mournful green eyes and is unprepared for how her gentle presence touches his heart. Patience Sutton misses her late husband. Adopting twins to fulfill her unrealized dream of bearing his children, she’s delighted when a rugged gentleman rides alongside her carriage chatting with the boys and making them laugh. And as sister-in-law to the Duke of Castleridge, she’s pleasantly surprised when he’s later introduced as a peer. Torn as he grows closer to the lovely woman, Luke struggles to reconcile his feelings with his already-set plans and responsibilities for the future. While Patience is caught up in the passion of a fleeting fling and the machinations of a spoiled rival who wants her out of the way… Can they overcome all obstacles to claim their perfect match?
