A Change of Location

Hannah Ballard's most successful relationship: her career. Her superpower is an uncanny ability to discover perfect movie settings while avoiding the limelight herself. Promoted from location scout to location manager, she's involved in pre-production for a film based on a bestselling historical novel. A chance meeting in London with an aristocratic landowner leads her to Somerset and his estate in picturesque Milver Vale-the ideal backdrop for a period drama.Martin Latimer, Marquess of Milverston, eagerly enters negotiations for the use of his property, surrendering privacy and solitude to benefit his rural district. He believes the release of a high-profile motion picture can increase tourism and bolster the local economy. He also welcomes the prospect of spending more time with its intriguing location manager.After Hannah suffers a professional setback, she accepts Martin's invitation to attend the annual village festival before flying home to hunt for her next job. Proximity and mutual passion propel the couple into an exhilarating affair. But Hannah's discovery that Martin is a magnet for the scandal-hungry press forces her into a painful and damaging decision. Only by relinquishing romance can she ward off public exposure that would damage the relative whose criminal past she has resolutely concealed. Powering through heartbreak is hard. Especially when coping with unemployment-and dealing with a fractured family. To protect them, she'll have to part from the nobleman asking her to stay with him. Who makes her believe that, at long last, she actually could be falling in love.
