Blazing hearts battle between the beauty and the ugly duckling.

Called the most beautiful woman of the ton, Helen Honeyfield managed to escape an unwanted marriage when caught in the embrace of ugly duckling Liam Rendell. When he realized he had been tricked by the woman he’d yearned for, he vowed to one day get revenge.

Now the Earl of Fenwick, Liam has experienced a lifetime of ridicule, not only by the ton, but by his late father as well. His best revenge is ruining the reputation of the title, his father’s truest love. He stumbles across a most interesting opportunity: Helen’s father is selling his failing textile mill. Lord Fenwick jumps at the chance to buy it, knowing the ton will ridicule an earl in industry, but also that it will hurt the earldom financially. The title his late father revered will never be the same. But Liam gets more than he bargains for when he learns the mill’s women workers are organizing. And they’ve asked Miss Honeyfield to be their union representative.

At her sister’s plea, Helen agrees to be the workers’ representative, believing it will be easy to convince meek Lord Fenwick to comply to their demands. Though she isn’t exactly pleased to have to be around the odd man. But as time ticks by, both wonder if they’ve been wrong about the other. Helen always seemed to crave attention, but a reserved side emerges. Liam seemed timid but is blooming in his unusual new role. Though their magnetic pull becomes impossible to deny, love can never exist between a union representative and a factory owner.
