In the aftermath of WWI, Grace Abernathy is determined to reunite with her family, crossing an ocean to convince her widowed sister to return home to England. Yet Toronto holds more tragedy and her nephew Christian is now in the custody of his paternal relatives, the formidable Easton family, who rejected Grace’s sister because of her low social status.
Unconvinced the Eastons can be fitting caretakers, Grace jumps at the chance to be Christian’s nanny and observe the family up close under an assumed name. In the course of her new position, she is shocked to discover herself falling for Andrew Easton, the boy’s guardian. Unfortunately, Andrew is promised to a spoiled socialite who will make a terrible stepmother for Christian. Will Grace be able to protect her nephew . . . and her heart?

What do you like about this book:
"There's no easy way to say this, Grace . . . . . Rose . . passed away three weeks ago."
Having traveled from England to Canada in order to spend time with her widowed sister and infant nephew, Grace Abernathy is shocked beyond belief upon learning of her sister's death. Desperate to discover where her nephew has been relocated, Grace is appalled when a local pastor relays the message that the very in-laws who painfully shunned her sister Rose, now have custody of little Christian. The Eastons; wealthy, powerful, and not about to welcome Rose's sister onto their estate. There must be a way to confirm that her young nephew is being treated with lovingkindness.
Andrew Easton cannot move forward with his future until he is certain that his young ward has proper supervision. Ironically, following a chance meeting with a lovely young woman hobbling on an injured ankle, the same woman appears once again; this time in his home, as a prospective employee. Grace Foley has managed to capture the attention of Andrew's sister, making her a strong candidate for Christian's nanny. In spite of their differences in social status, Grace's gentle beauty simply adds to her mystique; she's certainly nothing like the pampered socialite that Andrew feels compelled to marry in order to gain his father's approval.
As Grace and Andrew navigate the troubled waters of truth vs. deception, can the best of intentions truly be enough?
What an inspiring beginning to Susan Anne Mason's new series of books!
