Unfortunately, he can’t keep his eyes—and thoughts—off his deliciously distracting housekeeper. Such a dalliance can only mar the facade he's constructed to protect his sisters' future from the demons of his past...but this fiery passion is a temptation he cannot resist. While Susanna may not the bride he needs, she is everything he desires. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eA woman with a past.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the housekeeper to one of the grandest estates in England, Susanna Lockhart has worked determinedly to become all that is proper and efficient, and she \u003cem\u003enever\u003c\/em\u003e steps over the line. Romance is an indulgence for the upper class, not for her—and most especially not with her employer.
