“Grayford, recently returned from the Penninsula Wars in disgrace arrives home as the new heir to find a new housekeeper, Emma in disarray at his house. She is mousy and dowdy and seemingly at first, incompetent. Despite an bad initial first meeting, he gives her a chance to prove herself, not realising that the household have been working against her as they resent her. Emma, who was a Lady, has been forced into employment when her father lost all of their money. She is doing what she can to look after him.
The couple soon realise that they have a growing attraction despite trying to ignore it because of societys views. As Grayford attempts to clear his name, Emma tries to help him.
I found the lust turned to love quite quickly but it did not ruin the story for me. I Iiked that the couple were so loyal to each other. Emma staunchly believes that Grayford is innocent and Grayford does what he can to protect and help her. The villain reveal was not exactly a surprise but it worked in terms of the story.
The love scene was steamy and sweet and I love how much agency the heroine had.
An enjoyable regency read, a sweet romance.”
