'Ladd proves yet again she's a superior novelist, creating unforgettable characters and sympathetically portraying their merits, flaws and all-too-human struggles with doubt, hope and faith. Banished from her hardscrabble home for a youthful romantic indiscretion, Cecily Faire remakes herself into an irreproachably proper paid companion to the formidable Lady Tryst of Willowgrove Hall. There Cecily meets Nathaniel Stanton, the manor's capable steward whose hard work and loyalty are repaid with Lady Tryst's inexplicable scorn. Though her employer warns her against any association with Nathaniel, Cecily cannot help her hopeless attraction to the kind, quiet man who treats her like the innocent, worthy young woman she only appears to be. If he knew the truth of her past, Cecily believes, Nathaniel would abandon her as surely as she thinks God has. But Nathaniel has secrets of his own, and together they discover that forgiveness and understanding can pave the path to redemption and true love.'
