This is a novella about two people who have been hurt and damaged by life. The very people who should have held them up, protected, and loved them unconditionally failed them. Ophelia, our heroine, is in the process of watching her beloved mother die. She is unsure if she can handle the tearing away of the one person who has loved her all her life. She is wading in a nearby river when a man approached her. Andrew Colton, Viscount Stark (our hero) has never been loved. His own parents turned their back on him and allowed him to be raised by 'the help'. He always tried to gain their love but when they died, he was still a child and knew that he would never earn their love.The author does a wonderful job in bring these two lonely people together and healing their hurts. I very much enjoyed this book and look forward to Ms. Claremont's next book.
