Synopsis:Due to his aristocratic family's downfall, William Benton serves as steward on the land his brother should have inherited. His one weakness is for the daughter of the new owner. Josephine Lawton is beautiful, charming, and enamored of titles and all things aristocratic. So when she becomes engaged to a man he knows to be a wastrel and a fool, Will puts all his passion into restoring his family's honor and winning the woman he loves. It's going to be a hot summer on the estate.Review:I really enjoyed this novel.  I liked that during a time when women had few freedoms,  Jo did what she wanted anyway (sneaking out to the lake). Jo and Will both had feelings for each other but because of their stations in life, they hid it by acting like they hated each other. Like another reviewer said, I liked Will's rival Alastair and hope to see him in a future novel.
