Glory Sutton wants to reopen her familyโs spa, but someone is foiling her efforts. Is it because sheโs a woman or something more sinister? And whatโs a man like the Duke of Westfield doing at a tumbledown spa? Glory doesnโt trust himโor herself when heโs near.
Westfield doesnโt believe in healing waters, let alone ones rumored to have romantic powers. But he has his suspicions about Queenโs Well and Miss Suttonโeven though she stirs feelings heโd thought long dead.
Is the well working its magic?
