Overview
Lady's maid Emma McCovey is sent to Boston in place of her mistress, Miss Clémance Cabot, with one job: Convince the Whartons that Clémance is entirely unsuitable for marriage. Posing as her mistress, Emma is certain her plain speech and disregard for manners will send Nathanael Wharton running--and free her mistress from an unwanted match.
Widower Nathanael Wharton has built his life around duty to his family name and his daughter, Arabella. When his mother insists it is time he secures a wife and mother for his child, he reluctantly agrees to meet a potential match. But the young woman who arrives claiming to be Clémance is nothing like the demure lady he expected. Her honesty, mischief, and the joy she stirs in Arabella bring hope to Nathanael's guarded heart.
But Emma came to prevent an engagement, not begin a real one, and every day she stays, her deception cuts deeper into feelings she never meant to find. How long can their attraction last before the truth unravels?
Award-winning author Kim Vogel Sawyer delivers a tender historical romance of mistaken identity and trusting the story God writes over our own plans.
