Can a worried mother find the perfect matches for her family of eccentrics on remote Whale Island?
Amelia
In the spring of 1910, an advertisement I spotted in the Boston newspaper called out to me: Wealthy family in need of secretary on Whale Island. Must have an affinity for books. When Im offered the position, I do not hesitate to pack my meagre belongings and travel to Washington state. After all, I have nothing to lose. Ive been dismissed from my current position. I have no family. Its all a dream come true. The only problem? My employer, Benedict Tutheridge, makes my heart flutter and my knees wobble. I didnt expect him to be devastatingly handsome or interesting. Unfortunately, Im not from prestige or wealth. A man like Benedict would never marry a woman like me.
Benedict
In a town full of misfits, I win the prize. After my fathers untimely death, Im expected to run the family business. However, despite my efforts and education, I can barely read or write. At my mothers urging, I agree to hire a secretary, fully expecting A.F. Young to be a man. To my utter shock, Amelia Frances is very much a woman. A beautiful, beguiling one. A woman who would never fall for the town idiot.
A clean and wholesome historical romance that will pull on your heartstrings and have you cheering for second chances in this new family saga by USA Today bestselling author Tess Thompson.
