Work choices are practically non-existent for well born or educated ladies in Historical England. If that lady no longer has any family members or male family members to protect and negotiate a marriage for her, she is just about ready to go on the street and become a prostitute if she is penniless.Clarrisa is smart, too smart for her time and is at the end of her funds so she goes out and does what has to be done (for her own survival). She becomes a young man and hires herself out as a secretary. Luckily for her, she has lots of experience because she was her own father's secretary until his sudden death the year before. She gets really lucky and finds a job with a young Earl. Lots more happy lucky coincidences and a cute HEA. I didn't think that the last minute complications about her true birth parents were not important and almost unneeded for the Earl to prove his love.There is lots of polical issues of its time that push the story along, so prepare yourself to learn something in this novel.This was well edited with no noticeable errors or typos so a nice smooth read.
