Gracious Lady

Re-read this classic romance by USA Today bestselling author Carole Mortimer.

First married to a cruel gambler, then widowed, Sophie finds life is hard. Yet she is a determined, independent woman and when she is employed as a companion for the equally determined daughter of handsome, headstrong billionaire, Maximilian Grant, a battle of wills and mixed emotions ensues with her charge’s father!

But Max’s inquisitive probing of Sophie’s background causes even more tension — her scandalous family history is none of his business! And as they come to blows again, the passion between them soon threatens to ignite a fire neither can control!
