Mr Edward Sharpe is a very reserved man, but he loves Sophie. He has looked at her for a long time, but never talked to her. He has asked to court her. Sophie's father is so caught up in putting modern technology such as gaslight in his estate that he has let his family go. Sophie tells Edward that she cannot marry him as they don't suit. He feels very deeply but seems cold and indifferent. He doesn't ask her to give him another chance. After talking to her mother, she goes to Edward's office to invite him to their Christmas House party so they can get to know each other better. Will Edward show Sophie his heart? Will Sophie be able to love Edward? I adored this book of misunderstandings and love. I received this book from Net Galley and Perfectly Proper Press for a honest review and no compensation otherwise.
