Short Synopsis
Julia Foster, the governess of Highland Hall, may find that the class divide between her and master of the estate William Ramsey is too wide for their love to survive, in this first book of Carrie Turansky's Edwardian Brides series.

Full Synopsis
Missionary Julia Foster loves working alongside her parents, but when the family must return to England due to illness, she readily accepts the burden for her parents' financial support. Taking on a job at Highland Hall as governess, she quickly finds that teaching her four ill-mannered charges at a grand estate is more challenging than expected.

Widowed and left to care for his two young children and his deceased cousin's two teenage girls, William Ramsey is consumed with saving the estate from financial ruin. The last thing he needs is any distraction coming from the kindhearted-yet-determined governess who seems to be quietly transforming his household with her persuasive personality.

Julia and William are determined to do what it takes to save their families—common ground that proves fertile for unexpected feelings. But will William choose Julia's steadfast heart and faith over the wealth and power he needs to secure Highland Hall's future?

"A heartwarming tale." ---RT Book Reviews

"Downton Abbey collides with The Sound of Music in Turansky's romance set against life in the early 20th century British countryside." ---Publishers Weekly
