Lady Emma Grantham has experienced more than her share of loss. Orphaned as a child and raised among distant relatives alongside her older sister, she’s long since learned to rely on herself. Now temporarily caring for her spirited four-year-old niece, Katie, Emma will do whatever it takes to keep the child safe. When a suspicious fire forces them to flee London, she accepts an unconventional offer: a post as housekeeper at a quiet Sussex estate. But the man who gives them refuge is anything but ordinary.
