About the book
A recent survey finds that a person carries an average of nine keys daily.
McKinley Donovan works the summer at The Thorne, a once thriving extended family shipping business converted into antiques and oddities mega house that takes up an entire city block.
Lord Marc Babington had been raised as a proper lord, the Earl of Bovine Hill (as the locals called it) was determined to prove his great grandfather’s stories were true. The Babington’s had been in a long battle with the Donovan family about just who owned Bovine Hill.
Arriving in Haute, Marc Babington is there with the intent of settling a family conflict once and for all. The proof is in a family heirloom to which only a particular skeleton key can open. A key that is contained somewhere in The Thorne. Unfortunately for Lord Babington, his search for the right key isn’t that simple.
The last thing he expected to find was a young lady who challenge everything he knew about relationships. He certainly did not expect McKinley Donovan to turn his world upside down.
When McKinley learns that Babington’s intention is to acquire her family’s estate at any cost, she makes the ultimate sacrifice to protect the only family she has left. She hands over the key to the kingdom which proves that true love does conquer all.
