His Unexpected Heiress by Sally Britton
5.0
“I know you have no need of me, but I have come to need you. More desperately every day. I have tried, and failed, to resist my growing affection for you. You deserve so much better, so much more, than what I have to offer. You see, I have only myself, and you ought to be given all the treasures of the earth. But you have only to tell me—Elaine, you must tell me how to win your forgiveness. I must have that…”
~ Adam
I just adored this story. Elaine is the sweetest, most compassionate, most genuine soul and she deserves every happiness in the world for herself and her children.
Hardworking, frugal, and extremely competent, she makes a comfortable living for her family, while trying to helps others in need. Months after a chance encounter with a seemingly poor, downtrodden stranger she finds herself an heiress. She is shocked to discover the wealthy gentleman has left her with his entire estate.
Adam is disgusted when he discovers his uncle has left his family with nearly nothing after his death. But what is more confounding is that he left the majority to an old tradeswoman he has never even heard of. In order for Adam to receive his portion of the will he must assist the seamstress in adjusting to her new life and learning the ways of society. His family schemes against Elaine and Adam is a willing accomplice. But this seamstress turned heiress is definitely not what he expects. She turns his world upside down. Can he redeem himself in her eyes?
This is a stand alone novel, but it is also a prequel to Her Unsuitable Match. Either can be read alone but much more enjoyable to see the connections and the family interaction between the two books. And, of course, I always seem to read related stories in the wrong order! But no harm done, nothing was spoiled and it was delightful.
