Always a Lady

When Kit Ramsey arrives in Inismon, Ireland, to lay claim to his inheritance, he realizes the townspeople of this tiny, impoverished village are convinced that he is the miracle they've been praying for. But Kit—the natural son of George Ramsey, the fifteenth marquess of Templeton—isn't interested in being anybody's hero. All he wants is the chance to become his own man. But inheritances come with responsibility, and Kit quickly learns that his new title of earl of Kilgannon comes with plenty of strings attached—including the guardianship of Mariah Shaughnessy, the beautiful baker of Inismorn . . . the beautiful baker whom he must teach how to be a proper lady.
Fresh out of a convent, Mariah knows that, with Lord Ramsey's deep pockets, he is Inismorn's last hope for survival. She accepts Kit lessons in social graces—not because she wants to become the perfect gentleman's wife—but because she dreams of becoming the love of Kit Ramsey's life.
