This is an amazing story of a woman from the ton who meets and falls in love with a mere barrister who was previously accused of murder. Josephine is caught with being a smart woman in a world where women are supposed to be seen and not heard. She had secretly been helping her brother with his cases as a prosecutor but once her aid was found out he refused to let her help.
Duncan, was falsely accused of murdering his wife when she was leaving him. She accidentally fell down the stairs and although Duncan was found to be innocent of her death his practice as a barrister was greatly damaged. Few would refre clients to him.
Accidentally, Josephine stumbles across his office and offers to work for him helping with his practice. The chemistry between them was there from the very first and the reader can't help but fall in love with the characters. Add in a precocious daughter, Charlamagne (aka Charlie) who helps the pair see that they belong together.
When the Happliy Ever After comes it is worth the wait. ( )
