''Evelyn Hood is a fantastic writer, bringing the past to life and drawing you right into the story'' ***** Reader Review
It is 1865 and Eppie, a young widow with a child to bring up, can''t believe her luck when she gets the position of housekeeper to wealthy widower Alexander Geddes. He and his teenage son, Duncan, are a dream to work for, but daughter Lydia is moody, spoiled and temperamental - and convinced that Eppie has designs on Alexander. But Eppie is no gold-digger and Alexander Geddes has intentions that are purely honourable. Intentions that begin to lean in the direction of Lydia''s governess - Eppie''s sister Marion.
Yet although the attraction is mutual, its development is slow. For there are other tensions not only in the household
