Too Close to the Sun

Too Close to the Sun

by JessFoley (Author)

Synopsis

When Grace Hutchinson is orphaned at the age of twenty-one, her world falls apart. Left alone to look after her little sister and her difficult, 'different' brother, she doesn't know where to turn. And when her job as a governess comes to an abrupt end, the little family face ruin. But there's no time to panic, and Grace is forced to think practically. Accepting a job as companion to Mrs Slater at least means the children have a roof over their heads, but it also throws Grace into an impossible situation. Then when wealthy Charles Osborne offers to marry Grace it seems that their problems are over, but Charles is an obsessive, sometimes frightening man. Is Grace about to pay too high a price for her family's safety...?
