Synopsis

He believes them to be strangers... The door opened suddenly, and there she was. Carter forgot what he was saying and simply stared at the vision before him. Hang his imagination; this woman was far more intriguing in the flesh...

Yet she knows the truth... Catherine found she couldn't look away, he was so very handsome. His face had a rather rugged look, perhaps more so than she'd noticed five years ago. How strange that he'd never married...

Now that their paths have crossed again, can Catherine break free from the past to embrace the chance for love?

A life of privilege becomes only a distant memory when Catherine Newbury's father is falsely imprisoned and she is whisked away from her home in England to America. Forced to disguise her past and create a completely new life, Catherine takes on a servant's last name and carves out a tenuous future for herself as a seamstress. Soon her dress designs are sought throughout Philadelphia.

When the dashing Carter Danby accompanies his mother and sister for a design consultation, Catherine suddenly encounters her past face-to-face. Is Carter's avid interest in her genuine...or does he, as she suspects, recognize her as the young lady he met while touring England? She cannot deny the attraction, but admitting her true identity may jeopardize her father's only hope for freedom. Will Catherine be forced to sacrifice her dreams of love?

This was a nice little romance story. Perhaps the story was 'padded' a bit, but it still flowed pretty well and I enjoyed the story. I also enjoyed the descriptions of the heroine's job in the USA in the 'sewing house.' The religious parts of the book were not overdone and I felt fit in well with the story. I didn't think the prose was all that colorful and it didn't make me feel like I was 'there,' but it was okay. It was a pleasant reading experience.
