Once upon a dream, two cursed people fell in love...

Tansy White doesn't want to end up alone like her three aunts who raised her, but when she is betrayed by her would-be betrothed, she fears she might never change her fate. At her aunts' suggestion, she seizes the chance to visit Rose Cottage, the country home of her late mother. For years, dreams of the cottage have haunted Tansy, and she is convinced it holds the answer to her hidden past. But after getting caught in a terrible storm, she meets a man who is just as determined as she is to learn all her secrets.

Marcus Taylor, brother to the Duke of Westmorland, is also troubled by vivid dreams. On a sleepless night, as a tempest rages outside his brother's estate, he makes a discovery far more mysterious than any dream: a young woman, cold as ice, lies unconscious in the library, and he is sure she is the key to solving his problems. When she wakes, what begins as a shared quest for information turns into an unexpected friendship. As they piece together the fragments of their pasts, they discover a tangled web of lies, and their feelings for each other become just as entwined. But is their love as strong as their dreams... or their fate?

      Walker’s sweet follow-up to The Masked Baron takes readers to Rose Cottage, where mysterious dreams and family secrets link the life of an orphaned young woman to the brother of a duke. Tansy White travels to her mother’s former home with her three eccentric aunts in tow, hoping to make sense of her troubling dreams. Their new neighbor, professor Marcus Taylor, brother to the Duke of Westmoreland, is also dealing with distressing dreams, and it soon becomes clear they’re connected with Tansy’s own. Neither Tansy nor Marcus trusts easily but they find comfort in each other as they share secrets and set out to solve the mystery of how their pasts are linked. Easy-going Marcus ingratiates himself with Tansy’s aunts, while Tansy finds favor with the Duke, resulting in a love triangle. But the gentlemen’s mother is not as welcoming—and her disdain stems from more than just Tansy’s lack of a title. Walker does a good job suffusing this romance with a fairy tale feeling while eschewing any actual magic, and peppers in just enough hints to lead readers along on Marcus and Tansy’s hunt for the truth. The result is well-rounded and adorable.
