Hugh, Earl of Brinsworth is suffering from the aftereffects of fighting in the Napoleonic War. He is haunted by memories and dreadful dreams.
Clara Lockhart enters his house as companion to his mother. Clara is the daughter of an abusive Viscount, who sees no value in her. He made no effort to help her find a husband and even helps himself to her wages!
The book shows Clara finding kindness and friendship that she has never known before. Hugh finds a willing listener, to ease his burden.
Through intrigue, espionage and evil intent can Clara and Hugh find companionship and love?
Enjoyable book.

Szybko się czyta, to muszę przyznać od razu.
Nie jest napisana skomplikowanym językiem.
Chociaż jestem fanką romansu historycznego (i około tematycznych),
to byłam pod wrażeniem tempa w jakim uczucia związały głównych bohaterów.
Płytkie (bez większego rozwoju postaci czy fabuły), urocze, z małą dozą akcji.
Historycznego smaku dodaje wątek poszukiwania francuskiego szpiega.
Dopiero pod koniec książki zauważyłam, że jest to część serii
…i prawdopodobnie przeczytam całą.
Rozrywkowe, ale dla zabicia czasu.
