Book Overview
Regency London Having spent a childhood summer with Viscount Giles Weston, Angelica Wayne has never forgotten his kindness. But when he employs her as his daughter's governess, she finds him cold and formidable. A widower, Giles is engaged to the beautiful but indifferent Lady Barbara Darlington. Darkly cynical, he avoids emotional commitment and wishes to be married in name only. Despite Giles's attitude, Angelica comes to enjoy his company, and her feelings for him start to rekindle. When Barbara calls off the engagement, Giles asks Angelica to take her place as his bride. And Angelica must decide whether she can marry a man seemingly incapable of returning her affection . . . What is the reason for Giles's haughtiness? Can Angelica thaw his frosty exterior? Or are both condemned to a life without love?

One of my first "keepers"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This book has been a good friend to me since I bought it at a library sale some 10 years ago. Angelica is a mature, sensible heroine who chooses to live as a governess rather than live with her cousin and his new wife. Giles is a man afraid to love again because of hurt in the past. I can't count how many times I've re-read the story of Angelica and Giles, but each time I am still pulled in, hoping they will realize their mutual feelings before it is too late. Another thing to love about the book, in my opinion, is that it is clean - appropriate for a young girl wanting to read a romance but shouldn't be exposed to more than the allusion of sex.
