As a scullery maid in Regency England, Olivia Fieldman is out of options. After her employer’s wastrel of a son propositions her to be his mistress, she flees her home with nothing but the clothes on her back. But where can a young maid with no money or family find respectable shelter?
After the local innkeeper turns her away, Baron Blackwood, who overheard her plight, offers her a job. Desperate for a safe place to stay, she accepts his offer without question. But is he any safer than her last employer?
Olivia soon learns the eccentric baron has plans for her that involve more than simply cleaning his home. Walks in the woods to see a unicorn, an invitation to a ball. It all seems perfect… until she learns what he really wants.
The heat level of this historical romance falls into the "sweet" category, but the story has some dark moments.
