Love comes easily to some. Others have to fight for it...
Purity Mayfield doesn't entertain romantic notions. She knows marriage isn't a possibility and has accepted her lot in life is that of a governess. She's good at her job, too. So, when she sees a little girl being mistreated by her so-called caretaker, Purity doesn't hesitate to step in and help. Unfortunately, the girl's cynical and entirely too attractive father is neither grateful nor impressed by her intervention...
Theran Rutland had-and lost-one great love. He has no intention of seeking another. So, romance is the last thing on his mind when the beautiful Purity accuses his sister-in-law of abusing his daughter. But when her allegations prove true, Theran offers Purity a governess position. Imagine his surprise when he starts to develop actual feelings for her.
When all is said and done, Purity and Theran might have a shot at happily ever after. But only if a jealous, vengeful rival and a shocking revelation about Purity's past don't ruin everything first...
