The shopkeeper's solicitor, a young handsome loner, is worried that the newcomer will take advanagage of the older woman so he decides to keep an eye on Margaretta. In doing so, he gradually finds himself breaking his promise to himself never to become attached to a woman again.
I have been reading Talking to Strangers by Malcolm Gladwell and it just got too heavy. So I took a little break and listened this short prequel to the Haven Manor series which I started a couple of years ago. This is a light historical romance, with a little bit of depth and a happy ending. Listening time is only 4 hours. It was just what I needed to salve the wounds to my soul caused by reading about the real life cruelties depicted in Talking to Strangers, and The Body Keeps Score. (2018)
