"Loved it! A Baron's Son is Undone offers a refreshing twist on traditional Regency romance." —S. Mukherjee, Reedsy Discovery

He is the uptight son of a baron.
She is the banished daughter of . . . a pirate?
Each guards their own terrible truth that threatens the blossoming intimacy between them in this emotional—and steamy—Regency romance.

George Pemberton lives his life by a tightly drawn schedule of tidiness and efficiency. He also keeps a secret—one that has its tendrils coiled around him, squeezing him tight. Occasionally, he breaks free for a moment. He picks a fight, he slams a fist, and in the aftermath, he finds a welcome yet temporary reprieve.

Sophie does not know how long her father will keep her in Cornwall away from prying eyes and wagging tongues. Her future is not her own, so she may as well make the most of the present. When George encounters Sophie milling about with women of ill repute and working men in a Cornish tavern, he is intrigued as much by her air of playfulness as by the halo of sorrow that rests over her.

One night, Sophie finds Mr. Pemberton stripped to the waist and covered in blood after a fight. Unfortunately, she does not find the sight unappealing, and she does not know what to do when her thoughts of Mr. Pemberton begin to take a rather wicked turn.

Can one person truly come to know another? And can love find a way to inhabit the dark and secret places that live inside the heart?
