Chloe Gibbons is relieved to secure a position as a companion even if her employer is the cantankerous Dowager Countess of Hawthorne. But she soon learns that the dowager isn’t the one who needs her the most.
Kit Armstrong hasn’t been interested in anything since he was wounded at Waterloo, not the earldom or the ton beauties his grandmother parades in front of him. But something about the dowager countess’s new companion makes him wonder if life might be worth living again.
