Description
When Harriet Miles is fired from her job at the hostelry while struggling to take care of her seriously ill mother, it seems things can't get worse.
The last thing she expects after her mother dies is a marriage proposal from a man she barely knows, but her only alternative is the workhouse.
However instead of marital bliss with Noah Tuke, Harriet finds herself in a cramped, angry household where she is met with bitterness and hostility - from all except Noah's brother, Fletcher. Gradually she learns the true reasons behind Noah's desire to marry her - and realises that the only person she finds real companionship with is the person she can't possibly be with
