Product Description
Sarah M. Eden
When her father dies and leaves her completely destitute, Marion can think of only one thing to do - - make a new life for herself. Commencing a life of duplicity, Marion transforms herself into Mary Wood - - governess. In possession of a forged letter of recommendation and cloaked in the anonymity of her new identity, she enters a life of self - imposed servitude as teacher and caretaker of young Miss Caroline Jonquil of the Meadows. Her idyllic vision of life at the Meadows is dashed when she finds a child desperately in need of hope and a cold and sorrowful home haunted by the past. With her characteristic sunny disposition, Marion casts her spell upon the household and slowly brings to life the long - forgotten joy of those within.
Layton Jonquil is a man tormented by the lies surrounding the death of his late wife, but he cannot deny his growing attraction for the beautiful governess whose goodness and optimism have touched his dormant heart. Their connection grows ever stronger, and despite the impropriety of harboring feelings for a servant, Layton's heart whispers that this is the woman he's destined to love. But when Layton's fears about the past become too much to bear and the falsehoods in which they are entangled threaten to shatter Marion's and his blossoming attachment, will true love conquer all?
