Books like Only the nanny knows for sure by Phyllis Halldorson
Heather Carmichael, a spirited Southern nanny, begins her charge of the tiny heiress in Boston’s prestigious Sheffield household, navigating the demands of an elite family and the charming suspicion of Max Sheffield. Just as the warm and gentle ruler of the house sets hushful, an 18th–century apparition—Ethan Hadleigh, victim of the Battle of Lexington—arises and proposes a tender, supernatural approach to love.
Cognizant of the downstairs‑upstairs social boundaries, Hadleigh becomes a matchmaker to Heather, providing courage in hidden corners and wishful exponents in a heart that thumps with possibility. They aim to cultivate a love that is possible where there's room for pure hearts, conveying the moral of an old era where genteel hearts can still resonate in modern glamour.
