Everything depends on the baby...
Lady Mariah Gerrard anxiously awaits the birth of her stepmother's child, desperately hoping for a boy who will inherit their father's title so Mariah can gain access to her dowry and her freedom. Her father's cousin John, the next heir in line, has other plans - so if the baby is a girl, disaster looms for Mariah.
When Myles Moreton comes to Edgeworth to manage the family estate, Mariah's no longer certain that even the birth of a boy will solve her problems. Why is money missing? Why is Mariah's dowry in doubt? Despite his genial facade, is Cousin John planning mischief - or worse? Why is Myles Moreton, rather than the late earl's trustees, suddenly in control? And how can Myles - a man who's entirely ineligible - be not only completely maddening but utterly charming and very, very tempting?
As the family gathers to await the birth, Mariah and Myles search for answers - and they find that playing the waiting game can have its own rewards.
