She Needed to be Seen...
As a lady's companion, Clara Hartwright never receives much attention from anyone. And that's precisely how she likes it. With a stormy past, and an unconventional plan for her future, it's far safer to remain invisible. But when her new employer is invited to a month-long holiday at a remote coastal abbey, Clara discovers that she may not be as invisible as she'd hoped. At least, not as far as one gentleman is concerned.
He Wanted to be Heard...
Neville Cross has always been more comfortable with animals than people. An accident in his youth has left him with a brain injury that affects his speech. Forming the words to speak to his childhood friends is difficult enough. Finding the right things to say to a lovely young lady's companion seems downright impossible. But Miss Hartwright is no ordinary companion. In fact, there may not be anything ordinary about her at all.
During a bleak Devon winter, two sensitive souls forge an unexpected friendship. But when Clara needs him most, will Neville find the courage to face his fears? Or is saying goodbye to her the most heroic thing he can do?
Customer Reviews
Charming and empathetic.
A charming, empathetic story rounding off the Parish Orphans of Devon series. Mimi Matthew’s once again gives us wonderful characters and beautifully descriptive scenery, though less so in this book than in the previous three. A thoroughly enjoyable series and introduction to this Author, who I shall eagerly follow in future. My only critiques would be that this book’s hero and heroine should have come before the third book with a bit of tweaking of the storyline and more voice could have been given to the full cast of characters. Otherwise another 5 stars from me.
