Grace Beaumont has been raising her brother, Samuel, since she was 15 when her mother died in childbirth. She loves the freedom of running her household without having to worry about a husband to take care of and report to.
Christopher "Kit" Roker is a Lieutenant Colonel in the army and enjoys the freedom that he has while his twin brother, Carson, has inherited the role of The Earl of Sunderland.
When Grace attends the wedding of her cousin, Eliza, to Carson she meets Kit and is intrigued by him but knows she is not ready for any romance. When Carson is killed in a horse accident, Grace, Samuel and her father return to Falsbury Castle to help Eliza.
As Kit and Grace begin to spend more time together they realize how much they care about each other but will Grace be willing to give up her freedom for Kit? Will Kit be able to figure out how Grace can continue to help with her family if he is The Earl of Sunderland?
This was a good historical fiction book that I really enjoyed.
I liked Grace and how much she sacrificed to raise her brother and keep the household in line. That being said she never once saw it as a sacrifice as she truly loved what she was doing. She was very caring and I liked how she came to Eliza when she needed her as well.
Kit was interesting and a great character in that he had no desire to be The Earl of Sunderland yet he knew that he had to take the job. He was very attracted to Grace but knew he would really have to convince her that he was worth a chance.
I loved the friendship between Kit and Grace and how it evolved into more. Kit was willing to make a lot of sacrifices at the end and I liked that!
Great historical fiction!
