When a lost lady discovers that love is found far from home.After confessing her love for Lord Cunningham, Lady Rose Darby is whisked away by her father in the dead of night and locked in an old asylum. With no one but her paid companion, Miss Flint, for company, six months pass before Rose manages to escape.But her plans to return to London go awry when she finds herself at Everleigh, a sprawling mansion nestled in the heart of the forest. Mistaken for a newly appointed maid, Rose is sent to meet her new master, the sinfully handsome and brooding Lord Farleigh. But how can she tell him who she really is without ruining her reputation? And why does the thought of working for a living suddenly have appeal?Christian Knight, seventh Viscount Farleigh, leads a reclusive life in his country estate. Widowed at thirty and left to care for his two young children, love and marriage are not on his agenda. What respectable woman would want to move into a house in such a state of turmoil? The staff are sick, and he can’t keep a governess for more than a week. Is that why the new maid, Rose, proves too much of a distraction? As an honourable man, he knows he must fight the attraction. Yet, crippled with loneliness, his conscience is soon at war with his feeble heart.

When she declares her love for a lord her father deems unsuitable, Lady Rose Darby finds herself locked away in an old asylum with only her paid companion, Miss Flint. After six months of confinement, Rose manages to escape, but becomes lost during her attempt to reach London and winds up at Everlei......more

Even Better Than the First This was another fun, romantic mystery. I liked Rose, I thought she was sweet and charming. I really liked Christian. He is the perfect tortured and untrusting hero. It was touching the way Rose’s lies hurt him, but he was still able to overcome it. I don’t like kids. Sorry......more

Goodreads review by rita

Quite good, very graphic at times. Not really captures that time more like how they behave now. Good book, too modern for that period in history. Sex scenes too graphic for my taste. Well written but too much about privelaged .......more
