From nearly the start the tension and attraction between the two mature characters, which neither H nor h is willing to admit to the other, can be felt. Widowed Daphne thought Daniel’s earlier marriage proposal was only out of duty. He has trouble getting her off his mind.
I truly enjoyed reading this. As I’ve come to expect from Adele Clee – and have not yet been disappointed – this is a well-written page-turner.
Lots of plot twists
