description: A Wealth of Passion

  Of little means but proud bearing, Adam Herbert is loath to follow in his father's footsteps as a humble rector--and visits his great-uncle, the Earl of Stanwell, to see what else the world has to offer. What he finds is an unexpected treasure in the beguiling Emma--who learns that despite her great inheritance, the love she desires is worth far more than any fortune...
