When Benjamin Romilly, Earl of Furness, wife died in childbirth five years ago, he gave up. He has been an emotional wreck and distant father to his son. His son has been allowed to run wild.
Miss Jean Saunders was a cousin by marriage to Benjamin's wife. Jean and the late Countess were good friends and she can't believe the rumors that the Earl is neglecting his young son.
Jean pays an impromptu visit to the Earl's house with the initial goal to take the boy to his maternal grandparents. After Jean arrives, she slowly changes the Earl and his son. And fixes the Earl's broken heart.
I will admit that there was a point that I almost gave up on this book. Who was Jean to come and take a man's child away based on some rumors? I persisted and was so glad. This was a good book. There was so much dept to both Benjamin and Jean's characters. I really enjoyed this book.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC provided by NetGalley and the publisher. Thank you!
