The Wayward Heiress

When Eden Pemberley’s husband dies in a brothel fire, she is determined to do all the things he forbid her from doing. She wants to use her vast fortune to fund and take part in an archeological dig. When she is searching for a guide, she discovers that her first love, Max Thorne, is now an adventurer with the reputation of being both bold and brave. They parted badly because her family would not allow her to pursue a relationship with him, but she has never forgotten him and likes the thought of becoming reacquainted with him now that she is older and not so worried about society’s expectations. Can she convince Max to help make her dreams come true?
