With Empty Hands (Regarding the Gentry #3)
Becky Riker

Lydia Tyrone wasn’t sure what to make of the strange man her father had hired to keep the books. He was clearly not an ordinary laborer; his highbred manners and his way of speaking gave him away.
Despite his worn clothing, his rough appearance, and his gaunt frame, Lydia knew the man was a gentleman. She also knew her father was keeping the man’s identity from her for some reason.
When tragedy strikes, Lydia must decide whether she can trust Rowan to take her from the lies and the desperation surrounding her or if she should just choose the safe alternative.
Rowan yearns to help her, but he has nothing to give.
