In Aid of Emily: Hidden Gems Historical Romance

By M. Culler

Wealthy widower Peter Crane knows his late wife wanted him to remarry for the sake of their children, but after fifteen years of marital woes, he is keen to enjoy his freedom. After all, he missed his chance to make a love match, so why should he believe that fate would give a graying widower a young man's gift... until Angelica comes along.

Angelica Reed has always been the poor but pretty relation in her circle, and when she's asked to help an old friend's husband and daughter prepare for the girl's first Season, it's a chance to earn a little money and have a bit of freedom. Being a governess and guide to a sweet girl like Emily is no chore-especially when her employer, the dashing and debonair Peter Crane, pays her salary and insists on taking her to balls, operas, and parties-all in aid of Emily's debut, of course.

With Angelica and Peter focused on helping Emily find the love they never had, it seems both of them miss what's right before their eyes. While they both work in aid of Emily, perhaps Cupid is working to give Peter and Angelica a second chance at romance... but will they listen before it's too late?

In Aid of Emily is a standalone romance in the Hidden Gems Historical Romance series, where women of unique talents find happily ever afters with men who love and cherish them.
