Not one of my favorites by Mary Jo Putney. I had a really hard time getting invested in either couple's relationship since it wasn't clear until about two-thirds of the way through the book who was going to end up with whom. Also, I found it really hard to like either of the female leads. Antonia came across as very selfish and immature even though she was supposed to be 26, and Judith was far too self-sacrificing. I really wanted to see her stand up for herself and stop being such a doormat!

Baroness Antonia Thornton is a beautiful woman who has a fortune of her own and no patience with fortune hunters. Judith Winslow is a widow working as a paid companion to Antonia. At first Antonia was reluctant to take on Judith but after a while good sense prevailed and the two of them get on very well.
Adam Yorke returns to England from a long time away in India making his fortune, with him he brings his good friend Simon, Lord Launcheston, who is dashing and handsome. Both women are attracted to both men but who will win the women and will they get a happy ending.
It's a romance, the story is pretty predictable but the ride was fun.
