The Heir by Grace Burrowes

5.0

This is the first book in the Windham series. I read it long ago but decided to reread once again. It's a lovely story about a ducal heir, Gayle, and his housekeeper, Anna, who is in hiding from family difficulties.
I love Ms. Burrowes style of writing and I love the Windham family, so it goes without saying I love this book. It's a wonderful romance between two strong-willed people. Anna is able to provide the tenderness and comfort that Gayle needs so badly (though he doesn't know it), and Anna needs the security and strength he gives her.
It's also a story about family; Gayle's brothers and parents are an integral part of the book as well as Anna's family. Like all families, there are some squabbles but there is also the love that binds them together.
The Heir is a wonderful book, and I'm glad to have reread it.
