Nate is pleased to see Maggie, but he's confused by her attitude toward him. She's cool and distant and won't tell him why. He wants to set things right, but it takes a while before she's willing to listen.
The hat shop burns down, and Maggie is without a home. Nate takes her back to his house, but she still doesn't trust him. She has suspicions that Nate's stepmother may have caused the death of her family, and she uses the opportunity to snoop.
This book was okay. The beginning was depressing, and the end dragged on a bit too long. I can get past those issues, but my major problem was Maggie. I never really liked her very much, even at the end. The way she treated Nate bothered me. The story was overly preachy at times, and that interrupted the flow of the story. I really enjoyed this author's Edwardian Bride series (The Governess of Highland Hall, The Daughter of Highland Hall and A Refuge at Highland Hall) and recommend those over this one.
