A Question of Worth (The Warrington Bequests #1)

A stranger's fortune. A secret condition. A love neither of them was looking for.

Miss Eliza Fairleigh has resigned herself to a life that will be quiet and unremarkable. So when she learns she has been named in the will of the formidable Lady Warrington—a woman she met but once—Eliza is left with far more questions than answers. Her fortune comes with a single condition: uncover how their lives are connected, or lose it all.

Viscount Nathaniel Ashcombe is deeply unsettled by his great-aunt's final wishes. Lady Warrington was cautious and intentional in all things, and her decision to involve a young woman no one has heard of makes no sense. Resolved to protect his family's legacy, Nathaniel agrees to help Eliza uncover the truth—while keeping his distance from the one person who threatens to upend his ordered world.

But as whispers begin to circulate and long-buried tensions rise to the surface, Eliza and Nathaniel must confront a past neither of them expected—whilst fighting a connection that grows harder to deny with every passing day. Will the truth give them the future Lady Warrington intended? Or will it cost them everything?
