About this audiobook
A young military widow, Eliza Pierce is enjoying both freedom and financial success as part of Elegant Occasions. When her late husband’s best friend, Nathaniel Stanton, the Earl of Foxstead, hires Elegant Occasions to help another young widow of an officer become part of high society, Eliza wonders why. Is the
woman a relative? Or is she the earl’s mistress and her adorable toddler his child?
If so, why does he take Eliza in his arms every chance he gets …
Foxstead’s family situation makes it difficult for him to marry, so his visceral attraction to his best friend’s widow is an unwelcome complication. Burdened by family secrets and those of his commanding officer, he’s determined to do his duty even when it means being around Eliza every day. But how can he resist
when the fetching Eliza keeps tempting him to break his own rules? For if he dares to expose the truth, will she ever forgive him? Or will she banish him from her life forever …

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Impoverished widow Eliza finds freedom and success with Elegant Occasions. Nathaniel, Earl of Foxstead, hires the company to introduce his ward into society. Eliza wonders about the relationship between him and the young woman. Meanwhile, his attraction to Eliza is complicated by his family situation—he struggles between duty and desire. Eliza is impossible to resist, but he risks losing her forever if she learns the truth.
Eliza and Nathaniel are a delightful pair, their witty interactions showing their intelligence and competence. The novel is engaging, peppered with hidden truths that propel the story forward. Despite the difficult decisions the characters face, they remain likable and honorable, doing what they believe is best under challenging circumstances.
Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
