Overall, this story was a good story. I just got frustrated with how drawn out the story was. It takes to the VERY end for the hero's secrets to be revealed and then it ends a few paragraphs later.Returning to England with her adventurous father, Rosalie Whitwell is in a predictament when her father dies. She is now forced to choose between trying to make her own way in the world as a paid companion or living with her father's heir, her drunken and horrible uncle.  Fellow traveler is Lord Deal. He is aloof, distant, and not personable in any way, yet he feels drawn to her and feels sorry for her and asks her to marry him. They enter this marriage of convenience and everything is awkward and strained because Deal is uncommunicative, unfriendly, friendless, and refuses to consummate the marriage.Rosalie is a bit of a Pollyanna. She also thinks she has to make herself indispensable to people around her for them to like her. She takes everything at face value, never questioning people's hidden motives, so her husband's actions are baffling to her as she can't even guess as to what the problem is. So she is clueless the ENTIRE book.Overall, it was a good story line. I just wished the revel came WAY earlier so we could see the changes that come with accepting the secrets of the past and moving forward.
