Lilianarose McKenna has lived her life with the same passion and responsibility that brought her Spanish ancestors to the rich fertile land by the Pacific Ocean in search of a new life over two centuries ago. Bound to the land, the matriarch of her family, and a world-renowned portrait artist, Lili has everything except someone to love her. She wants more, an itch she can’t scratch, not yet, so she’s put aside her dreams, for now, but someday, maybe.
Charles Phillip Ashland, Earl of Ashbourne, inherited a title, a dilapidated Manor near land’s end, and nothing more, but he wants more. He’s taken anger and determination and built an empire, acquiring more wealth than he could spend in ten lifetimes. Charles has everything a human could want, yet he has nothing that truly matters. He succeeded in business but failed miserably as a father, but soon he will have time to do better, to find and live his dream. Yes, soon.
