À propos de cet e-book

An unconventional woman clashes with colonial society in this spicy and sweet Australian–set historical romance.

His carefree bachelor days over, Christopher Matcham returns to Sydney to take responsibility for his mother, two stepsisters, and the family property. Fortune smiles on him when he is introduced to Matilda Sweet, a woman in need of work. Though unusual, Christopher senses that her fresh ideals and positive outlook can only benefit his sisters, so he hires her as a companion.

By the time they arrive at Christopher's family home, the two are fast friends. But Matilda's unorthodox ways and her convict heritage make her a second class citizen to the family. Christopher has responsibilities, and they include an advantageous match. A breeches–wearing, fish–pond–swimming, plain–talking convict's daughter will never figure in. After all, romance is a luxury the upper classes cannot afford...
