I read this book after seeing a good review on a romance website and I really liked it. Rebecca goes to London to hear the reading of her grandfather's will and learns that she's been left half a cotton mill. The only problem is, the other half has been left to Joshua, who thinks that young ladies shouldn't mix with business. But Rebecca is her grandfather's granddaughter and has a good head on her shoulders, so she's not about to sell out to Joshua. They spar with witty dialogue and sparks flying through a variety of different backgrounds, the best being London's Frost Fair. Then the book moves to Manchester and the mystery takes over as they try to discover who's out to burn down the mill. Along the way they fall in love, so no surprises there, but it's an enjoyable journey all the same.
