Cara Bernay has never fit in. At loose ends in 1881 London after a near tragedy costs her a job, she befriends a carefree artist. With his help, she begins planning a new life and developing her own artistic talent. But soon Cara finds herself at odds with the artist’s brother–a handsome but arrogant earl forcing his brother back to a “respectable” life.
Henry Burke, the Earl of Morestowe, feels the weight of growing financial burdens. His younger brother is the one person who can save their family, and Henry needs him back home. Despite misgivings about Cara’s mysterious background, Henry sees she’s a positive influence on his brother and on Henry’s young ward, and he strikes a deal with her to return with them to their estate.
But the family has their own secrets, and when Cara, drawn ever closer to Henry, stumbles onto the truth, she must choose between following her heart and pursuing a bold plan that could bring disaster.

3.5 stars
"Perhaps, after doing it so many times, staring over was the one thing Cara was good at.
Cara Bernay's sisters have both found their place in life, with adoring husbands and fulfilling careers, they seem to have solidly grasped their futures with both hands. Sadly, Cara's life has just been radically upended following an error in judgement; nearly costing a family the life of their son and ultimately terminating Cara's employment as a nanny. Perhaps it's time to chart a new course, one that will feed Cara's creative abilities. When a carefree aspiring painter invites Cara to take a risk on possibilities, she accepts the challenge and free falls into the camaraderie of London's most elite artists, only to meet Langham Burke's brooding brother, the Earl of Morestowe.
Jennifer Delamere has painted a lovely portrait of opposites attracting, even in the midst of carefully guarded secrets. .. . or maybe, even because of them.
