When she declares her love for a lord her father deems unsuitable, Lady Rose Darby finds herself locked away in an old asylum with only her paid companion, Miss Flint. After six months of confinement, Rose manages to escape, but becomes lost during her attempt to reach London and winds up at Everleigh, an estate near the asylum. She’s mistaken for a newly hired maid and when she’s sent to meet her new master, Lord Farleigh, Rose can think of no way to explain herself without ruining her reputation further.
Christian Knight, Viscount Farleigh, lives a rather reclusive life on his estate with his two children since his wife’s death. Since his first disastrous marriage, and with rambunctious twins who run through governesses like water, he’s had neither the time nor the inclination to think about marrying again. Besides no wife would want to move into a house in such utter chaos and with staff who are constantly falling ill with a mysterious ailment. Christian fights his attraction to Rose as best he can, but with his heart awakening and Rose bringing light into his lonely existence, it’s a losing battle.
I listened to audio version of this book and thoroughly enjoyed it. I loved the mystery element here and the budding relationship between Rose and Christian. I loved how protective he was of her and how loyal she was to him. Even thinking I had it all figured out, the ending still managed to surprise me. I loved how Rose and Christian came to trust each other, helped along by the crazy circumstances they face. I liked this couple and look forward to the next book.
