Caleb by Laura Landon

Captain Caleb Parker was the lone bachelor, holding out long after his fellow traitors had tied the knot. He held himself to no standard but to do good in the world. Until he met the countess. Lady Eleanor Grattling moved him in ways he’d not experienced, tempting him with images of a marriage he knew could never be. Her title and his low station would see to that. Still, every instinct drew him closer, determined to save her from Virgil Blackboot and the evil that threatened her children. All fifty of them.
