From New York Times best-selling legend and author of the Survivors' Club series comes a cherished novel about the risks and the compromises that come with falling in love....

Governess and mistress - he wanted her as both....

The illegitimate daughter of an English lord, Sian Jones abandoned her heritage to live in a stalwart coal-mining community in South Wales. Empowered by their cause, she's engaged to be married to the leader of a revolutionary movement that is bracing itself against the tyranny of English mine owners. But Sian's principles are unexpectedly shaken when she accepts a job as governess under Alexander Hyatt, the mysterious marquess of Craille, the oppressive symbol of everything she has come to resist.

She never expected Alexander to upend all her expectations. He is sympathetic to her cause. He is a loving father. A man of wealth and position, he is fatally attractive. And he is offering his heart to the independent woman who has illuminated his life. Now, caught between two worlds and between the promises and desires of two men, Sian must make a choice that will define her future - one that can only be made in the name of love....

une jolie romance. Un peu de caricature, comme si seuls les hommes bien élevés savaient faire l'amour, et sortir de la violence. Dommage aussi qu'on aille pas un peu plus en profondeur dans l'exploration de la vie des mineurs, mais alors ce ne serait plus un livre feel-good.
quelle dommage de s'arrêter là cependant. j'aurais vraiment aimé voir comment ils dépassent les difficultés de leur mariage...

la qualité de la lecture, et l'accent chantant du pays de galle

I loved the intenseness of the Welsh background and the mining and chartist history, the book was sensitively written and the characters all well rounded and believable. the plots and sub plots frequently moved me to tears.

truly excellently read by Rosalyn landor
