The Secret Pearl

by Mary Balogh.

A standalone book, this one follows a love story that twists and turns and doesn't quite seem like it will end happily. It doesn't start out promising, with the Duke meeting Fleur as a common street walker and then finding out she was actually an innocent. Feeling guilty, he arranges for her to become governess to his daughter and live with his wife in the country (a little Jane Eyre there for you anyone?). The characters are pretty deep though and the story intriguing so it kept me interested and I just held out hope that all would end well. All in all it was enjoyable!
