Synopsis
The Duke of Wolfingham's scapegrace daughter Seraphina is convinced her lover tried to kill her. Alone, penniless, and desperate, there's nothing she can do to save the life of her beloved baby daughter, Adelina. Sir Rowland Cavendish offers an escape from her grief, but how can Seraphina ever trust a man again?
Rowland has just lost his wife, and his baby boy needs feeding. The beautiful young widow from the village would make the perfect wetnurse, but the conditions she sets in exchange for her compliance are not at all what he expects.
Seraphina refuses to share her secrets with Rowland, but her past returns to haunt her, threatening her new-found security. Her future hangs on a knife-edge as the game turns deadly, and a web of kidnapping, blackmail, and lies is uncovered.
She loves Rowland deeply, but if she doesn't leave him, he may lose what he values above all else. His baby son.
Review
Sweet and romantic story about two people who have love and lost. They both deserve a second chance, but can it be with each other?
Fina never thought she would live far from home trying to make ends meet. To complete her misery, she even lost her daughter. She is well and truly alone in the world. Until one day Rowland barges into her cottage demanding she be the wet nurse for his son. What starts as a reluctant work relation soon turns into something much, much more.
The story is well-crafted. I loved both the main characters and there is enough drama to keep readers entertained. I absolutely loved it and thoroughly enjoyed the novella. It's a fun and quick read, perfect for lazy summer days. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys a well-written historical romance.
P.S. I received a complimentary copy of this book. The review is my honest opinion. Nothing more, nothing less.
