The Lawyer and the Laundress

Lawyer James Kinney isnt looking for love, and laundress Sara OConnor doesnt want to be found. When their paths cross in a British colony on the brink of rebellion, a marriage of convenience may be their best hope of survival.

Canada, 1837. Widower James Kinney knows his precocious daughter, Evie, needs more than his lessons on law and logic, but Toronto offers few options. Classes with the neighbor children seem ideal until James discovers Evie is secretly spending her time with Sara OConnor, a kind and mysteriously educated servant. For proprietys sake, James forbids their friendship. But then Evie falls victim to the illness ravaging the city, and James must call upon Saras medical knowledge and her special bond with Evie to save his daughters life.

When Saras presence in his household threatens scandal, however, James offers an unexpected solution: become his wife, in name only, and help him raise Evie to be a proper young lady.

If Sara can ignore the sparks she feels when theyre together, his logical proposal could keep her secret secure forever. But soon, the forces of rebellion unravel their tidy arrangement. When James is accused of treason, Sara must find the courage to face a past that could save her husbands life.
