Ivan Everley, thirteenth Baron of Rothvale, considers himself the worst possible guardian for a valuable art collection. The Olympic archery champion maintains a public facade to hide his private nature and protect himself from betrayal. Even his famous cousin Ethan Blackstone remains unaware of Ivan's true self. When art restorer Gabrielle Hargreave arrives to appraise his inherited family paintings, Ivan's carefully controlled world shifts. He wants her from their first meeting, and Ivan gets what he wants. Gabrielle discovers this particular lord refuses to accept rejection. As their relationship deepens across Ivan's different identities, Gabrielle begins teaching the discontented aristocrat truths about life and himself. Together they uncover what it means to find someone truly irreplaceable.
