  Elizabeth Turner once loved Oliver Randall, but was blind to his desire to
  travel without the encumbrance of a wife weighing him down. When she learned
  the truth, Beth settled for the security of a loveless marriage. Now a widow
  with a son to support, desperation has driven her into service at Romsey Abbey
  and directly into the path of the man she’d loved and lost.
  
  Oliver has no intention of letting his dream of travel slip away again, even
  for a pretty face from his past. Since his return to the abbey, he’s planned a
  grand tour to the continent even while examining the astonishing emotional
  changes a decade apart from his brothers has wrought. The last thing Oliver
  wanted was stronger ties to the people living at Romsey. But then fate offers
  him both an affair and an unexpected friendship. Is it curiosity alone that
  stirs him, or the beginning of an unexpected adventure?
