Once she meets the children she starts to take better care of herself, knowing that once her small children loved her looking pretty. The Conde convinces Linda to stay until the children settle in. Soon Duarte falls in love, and he asks Linda to marry him with the agreement that their marriage will be just as long as neither fall in love with the other. From the back of the book: 'A new lease on life. For two years Linda Kendall believed her own life ended the day her husband and children were killed in a car crash. Only reluctantly did she set aside her grief to become nanny to the Conde Duarte de Dominga's three charges in Portugal. But this handsome nobleman aroused feelings Linda thought she'd never have again. Duarte tempted her back to life with his kindness, his charm, his proposal of marriage...if only she would agree not to fall in love with him. But it was already too late for that.'
