Drops of Gold
Sarah M. Eden · The Jonquil Brothers #2
A cheerful governess thaws a widowed recluse's broken heart in a house too long without love.
Description
Layton Jonquil has spent the four years since his wife's death in the isolated sanctuary of his home, Farland Meadows, with only his daughter Caroline. Mary Wood, a flame-haired, out-spoken, overly-cheerful governess descends on the household changing both their lives and unearthing secrets Layton would rather remained buried and forgotten. Can one woman bring love back into a house too long without it and reclaim a heart too long broken to heal?
