Summary
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a headstrong widow must be in want of all the happiness for her daughter — and a slightly more exciting life than the serene countryside of Hertfordshire, 1814. But when two wealthy gentlemen rent the estate bordering the cottage of the impoverished Griffins, the news rouses every marriage-minded mother of the area into a fierce joy - except for Abby Griffin. The reason for her mortification is the steely gaze of her new neighbour, Admiral Kane; a man she hasn't seen for two decades and would've desired the fact remain forever unaltered.
After 8 long years, Admiral Kane finds the courage to offer some courteous assistance to the wife his dear friend has left behind - only to be faced with a pair of brown, fiery eyes and memories of the past so shameful he can barely hold her gaze. To the chagrin of the local ladies, he has absolutely no intention to obtain himself a wife by the end of the hunting season, but as time passes, he finds himself being persuaded of the opposite by the terrifying hope growing in his heart...
A story of love, family, simmering passion, persuasion and pride & prejudice. Or in a nutshell: my love letter for Jane Austen.

Summary
Marcus Kane is the CEO of Ark Media Strategies -- and likes to keep his professional and personal world's separate. He's never without a plan and always has control. But when Clarke Griffin begins her internship at AMS, not only can't he break his curiosity of the mother Clarke lives to mention, but fate starts to weave Abby into his life. Allowing for her to guide him, and not the other way around.
When a lost past shapes so much of Marcus's present, Abby slowly learns why Clarke was forced to sign a privacy form. And Marcus Kane finds himself changing as their time together moves forward. But Clarke can't be kept in the dark, and surely she won't let her mother believe she's living life in the sun either.
A story inspired by all the Drama/RomCom's I've loved my whole life.
