There was one fly in the ointment
Carey loved her job as nanny. Tiny, motherless Alice Savage was a darling. And at present, the solitude of an isolated castle in Wales suited Carey perfectly.
But then there was Patrick Savage, the writer and father of little Alice. An arrogant, dictatorial man, he lacked the smallest particle of paternal feeling. Would he ever look at his baby?
Carey was determined to bring father and daughter together--even if it meant losing her own heart in the process.
