About the book:
Five years in a New York state reformatory have left a blemish on
Hazel's real name. So when she takes a job as Doctor Gilbert Watts's
lady in attendance in 1898, she does so under an alias. In the presence
of her quiet and pious employer, Hazel finds more than an income. She
finds a friend and a hope that if she can set her tarnished past in
order, she might have a future after all.
As Gilbert becomes accustomed to the pleasant chatter of his new dental assistant, he can't help but sense something secretive about her. Perhaps there is more to this woman than meets the eye. Can the questions that loom between them ever be answered? Or will the deeds of days gone by forever rob the future of its possibilities?
Rachel Fordham pens a tender tale of a soft-spoken man and a hardened woman, as well the friends who stand by them, as they work toward a common purpose--to expunge the record of someone society deemed beyond saving--and perhaps find love along the way.

My review:
This was a wonderful romance with witty banter and such a sweet guy for the hero, even if he is a dentist! I loved how they grew to be great friends and supported each other and that they were friends first for quite a while. There was some sweet romance. It was interesting to see Hazel try to go about clearing her name during that rime period. I highly recommend this well-written story!
I received this book free from Revell. I was not compensated for this review. All opinions are my own.
