When Yorkleigh, an earl who is bored with life, discovers a young woman has hidden on his carriage, he is intrigued, but decides to be kind. Little does he realize the secrets she is hiding. Can this serious man resist the charms of the kind Emily? 
 While this book is a bit predictable, the journey it takes-from the moment Emily and Yorkleigh meet to the end where the expected ending occurs- is absolutely delightful. The pace is slow but steady, allowing the reader time to adjust to these characters. Emily is a sweet girl, even though I was annoyed with her for taking so long to confide her secret with anyone. Yorkleigh is a good enough hero, but at times I was a little confused by him. 
 The plot, as I said, is predictable, but sweet. As a way to spend a few hours, it is a delight. 
 For readers who enjoy a historical tale with a sweet storyline, this is a must read.
