Catherine Wheatly took on many burdens when she became a countess, but her old concerns weigh on her the most. Responsibility for three teen-age brothers is a constant worry, that complicates her new marriage.


The Earl of Chadbourn sadly miscalculated with the boys and now he has to make it right. Can he handle his young brother-in-law's troubles and relieve his wife in the process?


This is a short story that follows up on the characters in Warfield's A Dangerous Nativity, in which the earl and countess find their love. It also carries the story of the three boys in that book forward. Each will be the hero of his own story in Warfield's Children of Empire series, the first of which, The Renegade Wife, will be released by Soul Mate Publishing in October, 2016
