"Grace Burrowes is terrific." —Julia Quinn, NYT bestselling author of the Bridgerton series

An earl who can't be bribed

A lady who can't be protected

A blooming romance that can't be denied.

Gayle Windham, Earl of Westhaven, is the dutiful heir to the Duke of Moreland. Tired of the price of nobility and his father's unrelenting pressure to marry, he escapes to his London townhouse for the summer, where he finds himself intrigued by the secretive ways of his beautiful housekeeper. Anna Seaton is a talented, educated woman…so what is she doing here?

As the two begin to lose their hearts, Anna's secrets threaten to bring the earl's orderly life crashing down—and he doesn't know how he's going to protect her from the fallout…

    This book dragged. Lots of side characters and a plot that took forever to get to the point.
  • Loved it but....

    I really loved this book but it did feel like it was a tad bit dragging more towards middle end. What I didn't like the most was that the ending felt a bit rushed and the epilogue was extremely short. It felt like the author must have thought; ok this happened, make it sound romantic and boom done! I would have given it a 5 star if it wasn't for that. I always believed you are your own critic, and I would recommend this book but with just a warning that the ending is short lived.

    I thought that getting this book via iBooks for a 'special' price would mean that it wouldn't be all that good of a read. In the past I was an avid reader. I'm now a reluctant one and it takes a really great book to get my attention and keep my interest. This book did it. I was so enamored that I read it in a week. It would've less had time permitted. The characters are so real and relatable even given the time period. I am so glad I found this book by chance and love that it's only the first in a series. Anna is a great heroine and hers and Westhaven's love story is beautiful.
