Daphne Blakemoor was perfectly happy living in her own secluded world for twelve years. She had everything she needed--loved ones, a true home, and time to indulge her imagination. But when ownership of the estate where she works as a housekeeper passes on, and the new marquis has an undeniable connection to her past, everything she's come to rely upon is threatened.William, Marquis of Chemsford's main goal in life is to be the exact opposite of his father. Starting a new life in the peace and quiet of the country sounds perfect until his housekeeper turns his life upside down. They've spent their lives hiding from the past. Can they find the courage to face their deepest wounds and, perhaps, find a new path for the future together?
I recommend reading A Return of Devotion by Kristi Ann Hunter. This is a story of a woman named Daphne, and it is a perfect story for her! Daphne does not consider herself a full-fledged woman, although she has raised many children. She has thought and dreams of her life being different, but that is not what defines her. Her life of servanthood and speaking for those who cannot speak for themselves makes her the perfect lead character in this story. With a new owner moving into her home, which is not really her home, everything changes for her. She will take up her new position, change her name for cover purposes, and try to raise the rest of the children left in her care. This is a five star read!
