Publisher Description
Grace's earliest memories are of being shunned and overlooked by her family. She never met their expectations, from her red hair and tall stature to her lack of ladylike behaviour; everything about Grace condemned her in their eyes. Denied a season of her own, Grace discovers that her sister, Amy, is to be presented to society.
Resigned to her spinster status, Grace looks for a distraction to help keep her occupied while her family is away. When she decides to tutor children from the local village, she finds a champion in Reverend Simon Blake and his housekeeper, Mrs Edwards.
The reverend and his housekeeper, appalled by Grace's family's treatment of her, play matchmaker, and Grace meets Miles Blakemore, the Duke of Hampton. As the relationship grows, Grace fears that her family's return may cause problems between her and the duke. Her fears are realised, and she and Miles face challenges neither expected to encounter. Can the couple overcome their difficulties, or is Grace doomed to be the spinster her family predicted?
