In the sleepy English countryside simmering beneath a veneer of gentility seethes love, longing and jealousy. Resentment smoulders and a combustible combination of events will spark shocking consequences. In appearance and personality, as mortal and immortal, Zoe Smith had never been remarkable. She has always been overlooked and unappreciated. She is happy with her quiet and unassuming life and has never wanted for anything more, apart from the one thing she could not have, Flynn Darcy. She has loved him since she was a mortal, but now, centuries later and hired as a housekeeper and chaperone for his ‘Day with Darcy’ business, any hopes she had that he would ever see her as more than a servant seems increasingly unlikely. Flynn Darcy is wealthy and bored. His new Regency re-enactment business venture is merely a way to pass the time and he wants it to inconvenience him as little as possible, so hiring a live-in housekeeper seems to him the ideal solution, completely oblivious to the fact the woman he has hired is in love with him. Can ingrained social barriers be breeched and outdated attitudes overcome, for this flawed romantic hero, and timid heroine with hidden depths, to have a chance at happily ever after, or will revelations be revealed too late? Reality and romance will collide but will loyal love survive? less
