Phoebe Hallsmith missed out on the marriage mart to care for her ailing grandmother in Scotland. She had a short-lived engagement that was broken. Phoebe now works as an employee of the Everton Domestic Society of London. She has been disowned by her eldest brother and mother.
She accepts an assignment to help Markus Flammel. Markus was married to one of Phoebe's best friends who died in childbirth. Now, Markus has lost himself inside a bottle and his daughter will not speak. In sweeps Phoebe to help Markus put his life back together.
As they work together, Markus has to learn there is more space in his heart for Phoebe and move past his loss.
This was a wonderful start to a series. I loved the characters. Phoebe was an amazing heroine. I loved her courage in setting her own course and ignoring popular convention. Markus was the damaged hero that needed to learn to love again. I liked how their characters meshed. I can't wait for the next book!
I received an ARC from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review. Thank you!!
