It wasn't Cassie Haddon's fault that she had managed to reach
the age of twenty-five without possessing any useful skills. Until
the war, she had always had servants to wait on her. Since then,
she and her widowed mother had moved from place to place, relying
on family to care for them. Now she's forced to find work to
support them both. What isn't in her plans is falling for Jacob
West, a local restaurateur and grocer. She needs a job and he needs
help. But what they both need is love.
With her signature sweet romance, Ann Shorey weaves a tale of two
people from very different backgrounds finding common ground and
the hopes of a bright future together.
What will it take for a once-privileged young woman to make
her way in the world?
