A serious-minded spinster makes a scandalous match with a handsome mill owner in this Victorian romance.
England, 1834. When lady's companion Sara Standish meets Cameron Fitzallen, he's mending machinery with his jacket off. He is manly and capable—though it is most improper for him to set Sara's heart aflutter! As a tradesman, it would be forbidden for her to mix with him.
Yet in Cam, Sara has finally met a man who shares her curiosity and sense of purpose. Surely the ton could not look askance if they were to work together to help impoverished children. But the closer they become, the more Sara enjoys Cam's company . . . and craves his touch . . .
