Books like Alex and the Raynhams by Iris Bromige
Alex Madison, twenty‑five and steeped in animal lore and countryside life, has little experience with the world of men—aside from her striking looks. When she accepts a position as secretary‑companion to the elegant journalist Dorinda Raynham, the sophisticated Raynham family impresses her with their charm and refinement. Yet only Dorinda’s son Nigel presents a rude and hostile attitude. As Alex navigates the family dynamics, she learns that all that glitters is not necessarily gold, and that the handsome and seemingly friendly Bruce may prove crueler than Nigel, forcing her to confront hidden truths and her own heart.
