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.
