Publisher's summary

When her father dies and leaves her completely destitute, Marion can think of only one thing to do - make a new life for herself. Commencing a life of duplicity, Marion transforms herself into Mary Wood - governess. In possession of a forged letter of recommendation and cloaked in the anonymity of her new identity, she enters a life of self-imposed servitude as teacher and caretaker of young Miss Caroline Jonquil of Farland Meadows. Her idyllic daydream vision of life at the Meadows is dashed when she finds a child desperately in need of hope and a cold and sorrowful home haunted by the past. With her characteristic sunny disposition, Marion casts her spell upon the household and slowly brings to life the long-forgotten joy of those within.

Layton Jonquil is a man tormented by the lies surrounding the death of his late wife, but he cannot deny his growing attraction for the beautiful governess whose goodness and optimism have touched his dormant heart. Their connection grows ever stronger, and despite the impropriety of harboring feelings for a servant, Layton's heart whispers that this is the woman he's destined to love. But when Layton's fears about the past become too much to bear and the falsehoods in which they are entangled threaten to shatter his and Marion's blossoming attachment, will true love conquer all?

Love her writing. Good narration. I like her longing for home series better but this was worth the credit.

Worth it!

Used up my monthly credit, which means I’ll have to wait 27 days until my next. Hands down, zero regrets. Absolutely beautifully written and performed. Loved every second! And hated when I had to pause and return to real life.

Book cover and request

I love Sarah's Eden books, specially Jonquils brothers and the Lancaster's.
First i was wondering if you plan to have Friends and Foes in audiobook soon.

Also, I wanted to mention that in the cover of the book appears a brown head lady, when an important feature of Marion is her disarray red hair. Covers speak so much about the content of the book, I thought this was a big mistake.
