Honor Holt has never been the sentimental sort. The daughter of a banker, she has always seen the world in facts and figures. With little desire to marry, and even less desire to remain in her fathers home, she takes a posting as a governess in the countryside. There she hopes to find a career, or at least some decently fresh air.
But instead she finds Lady Jane Linton, the spinster aunt of Honors charge. Quiet and plain, Jane has been relegated to caretaker of her nephew for much of his life, and she resents the sudden arrival of a governess meant to take her place. Tempers and sparks fly as the two realize they have more in common than they do apart. Will the pair of them manage to find the relationship they never thought possible? Or will these two queer souls remain separated forever.
And all at Christmas too!
