The Craft of Love

Benjamin Lewis has created a life for himself as one of the most respected silversmiths and engravers in New York City. For Benjamin, his work is his passion, and he has never sought companionship beyond the close ties of family. Stumbling across dresses sewn by his late mother, however, reawakens painful memories from his past. Now he is determined to forge something beautiful from the remains of the life and identity he left behind. In the process, he discovers stunning and fiercely intelligent Miss Quincy, who might just have the power to tempt him out of his quiet isolation.

Remembrance Quincy's talent is as undeniable as her needlework is exquisite. She has made a name for herself crafting quilts and embroidery pieces for the wealthiest ladies in the city. When soft-spoken, charming Mr. Lewis comes to her with a particular project in mind, she is intrigued both by his artistic design and by the man himself — he treats her like an equal, values her work, and makes her smile. But Remembrance already gave her heart away once; can she risk doing it again?
