Improbable Legacy
From Prayer to Repair to savoir Fare!When Nigel Thomas completed his studies at London’s St. Augustine’s College of Theology, everyone assumed he’d accept ordination and dedicate his life to the Church. Astonishingly, Nigel turned his collar toward crankshafts, becoming a master mechanic at a nearby Aston Martin dealership—his true vocation hidden beneath motor oil and torque specs. None of his coworkers knew he’d spent years preparing for priesthood; none suspected he quietly blessed every car that rolled through his repair bay.
Living a modest life beside his fiercely anti-royalist mother next door, Nigel seemed content with his unremarkable routine—until Sybil entered his world. The vibrant daughter of a French Comtesse, she stirred emotions Nigel had long buried. Yet romance was merely the prelude.
Days later, news broke that a distant—and entirely unknown—Earl of Wiltshire had died. To Nigel’s disbelief, he was named sole to a noble title, a sprawling estate complete with a historic bookshop, and the late earl’s legacy steeped in secret, criminal behaviors.
Now, with bloodlines exposed and destiny rewritten, Nigel must choose—can he reconcile the man he was with the aristocrat he’s become?
From the author of The Velvet Abbey Series comes a contemporary Regency novel filled with quiet mystery, spiritual undertones, and aristocratic drama.
