Her parents have died, leaving Serena a penniless orphan. Her only chance to survive seems to be a forced marriage to the son of her family's solicitor, but that is a lie. Now her only motivation is to work as a housekeeper at Chimney's estate, where Edward Taylor, the Earl of Drinkwater, lives, and it all begins.
Like a fresh breeze of summer, she blows life into a heart scarred by loss, promising everlasting happiness. Surely, fate would not have sent this angel if she was not meant to be his.
With her father and mother now dead, baron’s daughter Serena White is an orphan. Her mother promised to provide for her, so she’s shocked to discover she’s practically penniless. With nothing to lose but marriage to the odious family solicitor, Serena instead gains employment as a housekeeper for the handsome but careworn Earl of Drinkwater. Love was the last thing on her mind, but their connection is impossible to resist. Will her heart be broken, or does destiny have something very different in store?
When disillusioned Edward Taylor, Earl of Drinkwater, returns from war, he must rebuild Chimneys, the family’s dying estate. When he hires a new housekeeper, she brings sunshine and light to the old house and to his wounded heart and soul, slowly healing his wounds. Now he must decide; should he marry for money to finance his plans for Chimney’s? Or should he listen to his heart and marry the woman he loves?
