The Companion by E.E. Ottoman
4.0
Diverse cast of characters: Yes

A lovely read about three people finding each other away from a harsh world.  Madeline has tried to make it in New York but when her efforts do not pan out, a friend suggests she become a live-in companion to writer Victor.  Madeline finds herself drawn to Victor and to neighbor Audrey as she embraces her new life.  

Victor and Audrey were once partners, and navigating the relationships between all three of them becomes a delicate balance of desire and emotion. 

To be honest, the thought of moving to a remote, old mansion near the woods sounds delightful.  Madeline's journey was heartwarming, and the spice is so well done.
