Roses Have Thorns

Sarah had been happy working at the hospital—until Radolf Nauta interfered and left her jobless.

A trip to Holland caring for his dying grandmother had cost her the clinic post, leaving her with a ruined reference. How was a quiet hospital clerk to manage? With rent due on her London room, she took a housemaid’s post at Shotley Park, polishing silver and turning down beds.

Forced to find other means to support herself, she was totally unprepared when she ran into the domineering Radolf again—and he hadn’t changed one bit!

The imposing Dutch surgeon appeared as Lady Wesley’s weekend guest, still barking curt commands, scolding her impertinence while snatching heavy dishes from her hands.

Companion duties only threw her into his path, where his rare, contrite smiles proved far more perilous than his arrogance. The only problem Sarah had? She soon realized that her heart now belonged to him, and there was nothing she could do to fight it.
