Book Three in the Barriers of Stone Series
Historical Romance | Philadelphia, 1890
She escaped a life of expectations. He inherited one he never wanted. But fate has a way of tangling threads where hearts are concerned.
Miles Cooper is the heir to one of Philadelphia’s most powerful textile dynasties—disciplined, composed, and every bit the gentleman his world expects him to be. But behind closed doors, he wrestles with a life shaped by obligation, not desire.
Albertina Whitmore, a rebellious debutante looking to make her own way in the world. She arrives from St. Louis with a secret: she doesn’t want the life she left behind—and she’s certainly not looking for love.
But when a chance encounter leads to a deepening bond, neither is prepared for what they’ll discover in each other: a kindred spirit, a defiant heart, and the courage to weave a life of their own choosing.
