An Heiress For Mr. Bradbury
(2024)(The second book in the Wyntercrest series)
A novel by Michelle Angus
An American heiress with a fiery spirit. An English engineer with a revolutionary mind. Chance meetings, where love and ambition collide.
Harriet Crocker, an American heiress, has her sights set on England, determined to secure a titled husband and prove her worth to her powerful father. Overwhelmed with the whirlwind of London’s social season, a Christmastide house party offers a welcome respite. However, when a fierce winter snowstorm derails her journey, it leads her into an unexpected encounter with a handsome stranger, whose reserved demeanor masks a brilliant mind and a passionate heart.
Thane Bradbury, a somewhat reserved yet gifted engineer, has spent the last few years investing in the building of one of England's first steam engines, a project close to his heart. Leaving his family for the first time since his father’s death, he seeks respite at the same house party and longs for a break from the relentless demands of his work.
The moment he encounters the mysterious Harriet, he is captivated by her wild spirit and her unconventional charm. Their connection continues to deepen with each shared moment until a revelation threatens to cast shadows of doubt on their intentions toward one another.
As their trust wavers and discoveries emerge, they must both navigate societal expectations and family loyalties, all while trying to ignore the pull of their hearts. Can their friendship and love survive the pressures of their worlds, or will they forge a new path, fueled by their desire for something more?
“I’ve always been a man of logic, of machines, and of drawings. But you… you have turned my world upside down. Without all the pieces to the engine, it is a lifeless, worthless, yet expensive piece of equipment. You have shown me that a heart needs all of its parts to truly run. And my heart, without you, is missing its most vital piece.”
