Publisher's summary

The "fallen" ladies of Puddledon Manor's Benevolent Home are restoring their reputations - and their future prospects - by operating their very own brewery and alehouse....

As the founder of the Home, Josephine Smyth-Waters is determined to be there for the women who need her. But when those same women conspire to accept an invitation on her behalf, she finds herself suddenly on the way to the christening party of the Earl of Darrow's baby. Guests at the party include her friends and former partners Pen and Caro-and Edward Russell, Duke of Grainger, the Home's generous benefactor and the man she's been writing to for months. While Jo decidedly does not have marriage on the mind, the duke's handsome looks and charming words are enough to make the lovely widow a little reckless....

Even after a year, the title of "duke" still sits strangely on Edward Russell's shoulders. When Edward encounters Jo - capable, fun, and utterly irresistible - he's delighted to find someone he truly connects with. A trick of fate has placed them on two different paths...but Edward is beginning to realize that perhaps he's not the kind of man who does the expected thing after all....

Contains mature themes.

Good writing, but big romance flaw...

Seriously had an angry disconnect with this so-called "independent " woman heroine rolling over like a pathetic ragdoll when a manipulative, grasping, betraying, ambitious lying grasping woman removes her from her home & life's work. And noone ever addresses it or stops her. But also, the momentary forgiveness I might have had for the pathetic heroine completely disappeared as she arrives at the houseparty and allows herself to be a doormat, just as weak and pathetic amongst her so-called friends who treat her the same way. Then we find out the original manipulator who is trying to take over her life's workers was also the former lover of the chosen matchmaking love interest (the Hero) who stresses that "Livy" (reformed madam trying to take over) is still his close friend and the narrative shows multiple time how well they know & understand each other's thinking and characters. Well, it was damned hard to understand why the Heroine is even a Heroine at all. She's pathetic, weak-willed, inarticulate, easily manipulated, & barely visible as a character worth the story or the love. Totally frustrating how stupid she is portrayed. Big Ugh.

Second chance of happiness

Lovely story: the boy and the dog entertained behavior, the father patients and how open minded with the lady independent character…
One of my favorite narrator!
