I enjoyed this novella which introduced characters who appear in the next of the author's series about the people who run A Lady's Favor dress shop. It was well written and well edited with likeable characters and some interesting secrets. The plot revolves around the relationships between the characters, especially the Earl of Hartfell, Gregory, and Mrs. Lyncott, Caroline, his housekeeper. Caroline is also the great granddaughter of a Duke, but she has never told anyone, until the Earl, who has always noticed her gentility and breeding, asks her to be his younger sister's companion for the social season. With their being in constant company together, the attraction between the Earl and his housekeeper gets out of control, and he discovers her secrets.There are sexual scenes and descriptions of violence, along with some mild violence, but no profanity. The next book in the series involves Caroline's friend and brother, in "What the Groom Wants".Heat factor hot.
