Timothy didn’t mean to kill her husband. It was self-defense. But now Mrs. Cockburn is all alone, in America, with an infant and no means to support herself or her son.
“Return to England with me,” he urges her. Being financially strapped himself, it’s a rash offer, but his unexplainable need to take care of her runs deep.
Pretending to be married so as to share a cabin and afford passage, they set sail for Bristol. Neither plans on their pretend marriage being better than their actual lives. Yet it is.
But there are two problems: Timothy has a girl back home, waiting for his return and their subsequent marriage. And Beatrice—Mrs. Cockburn—is a runaway daughter of a baron. And Timothy . . . he is merely the steward of a struggling estate.
