When a destitute governess faints on Sir Edward Greaves's threshold, chivalry demands that he offer her temporary shelter. However, the desire Ned feels when he catches her in his arms isn't at all gentlemanly.... With her large, troubled eyes and slender frame, Joanna Merrill calls to something deep inside this guarded man. For one who has purposely shunned the conniving beauties of London society, just how much is Ned risking by having this intriguing woman under his roof...'
Good romance. Super-nice protagonists, a significant backdrop of period history (Luddite Rebellion), and complications between the hero & heroine that is resolved in a totally feel-good manner. The overall relationship between Joanna & Ned here reminded me of Nana & Oliver Worthy in Carla Kelly's "Marrying the Captain" and I enjoyed that one thoroughly as well.
