Nancy turned her back on her family and generally the aristocracy when her father tried to marry her off to an older man. Now she works as a cook for a women's refuge, She's returning home after playing the role of a merry widow in London- for Reasons - so she has the clothes. While snow starts falling she finds an injured man and helps him home; getting snowed in for her pains. Between his and her staff they get him back to health and find attraction (that their staff collude in helping) but she doesn't believe she has enough to offer and he doesn't either, then there's the matter of government secrets being sold and her father's manor being implicated and it's a lot of messy complicated lives that have to be resolved for the happy ever after.
Entertainingly some of the twists took me by surprise. This was a good read. ( )
