The Baron's Return - Suzanna Medeiros

She broke his heart once before. He won't give her the chance to do it again.

Baron Cranston doesn't believe in happily-ever-afters. Experience has taught him that love is a risk not worth taking.

Forced to marry another man when she was younger, Abigail didn't know she was carrying Cranston's child until after he'd entered military service. Now widowed and out of mourning, she is no longer trapped in a union she never wanted.

When Abigail tells Cranston about his daughter, she doesn't expect his proposal. But their marriage of convenience could give her the second chance she never dreamed possible. Now she only needs to convince the cynical baron that his heart isn't as closed off as he believes.

The Baron's Return is book 7 in the Landing a Lord series.
