This was a pretty different. I liked the fact that both the period and setting were different 1884 in New York. The h is an impoverished gentlewoman and the H is a type of detective and a commoner. There is an attraction between them from the start but the H is mindful of the difference in class. As someone else said the sexual tension continued throughout the book, and although they do get pretty touchy feely the book is largely clean. The H is in the process of investigating some murders and the h loses her position because she was a witness to a crime at a brothel. She'd gone there under false pretences and hadn't realised where she was. The H finds out that she has lost her job and home and he offers her a position looking after his 'granny'. I liked the book very much and can definitely recommend it.
