Annabelle Tyler is reeling from the death of her mother and the recent betrayal from her now ex-husband ~ not something that is spoken of in polite society in the early 1800’s. Although she had no part in any of the scandal that has shaken her world, she hopes for a new start where no one is familiar with her situation.
When her carriage is overtaken by highwaymen, she and a fellow traveler are put into a compromising condition and forced into a marriage neither expected.
Harrison Graymoor is one of the most eligible bachelor’s in Philadelphia society with a reputation that is not impeccable. He has no desire to marry and when forced into the situation, quickly scrambles to find a way out.
Although the situation is less than desirable, as they begin to spend time together in their sham marriage, affections quietly come to the surface that neither expected to face. Will they continue the course to resolve their marriage or will their affections lead them elsewhere?
My Thoughts
This was truly one of my favorite reads lately ~ and one that I’ve already passed along to several others to read. I absolutely fell in love with both characters in this book and the relationship that developed between them. Out of all the character though, the meddling housekeeper, a true gem of a woman, was probably my favorite though. Through her gentle {and often not-subtle} nudging, emotions are uncovered and relationships developed. This is one book that I’ll be keeping on my bookshelf for some time!
