During the Russian Revolution, Anna, a young Russian countess, and her family escapes to England. Penniless because their maid did not meet them at their apopinted place and time, Anna sets out to look for work to keep her family alive. With her governess taking care of her sickly mother and her brother going to school, she finds work as a maid in the Westerholme estate. At first, those hiring her wre a bit iffy on hiring her due to her lack of a working background. However, she is soon able to win everyone's heart with her sweet and wonderful being. She also finds there, Rupert, the handsome earl of Westerholme. Unfortunately, they both seem to be falling for each other. But before they can be together, Anna has to deal with Rupert's nasty and mean fiance. As the employers of the Westerholme estate and Rupert started to suspect her noble blood, they still loved her and accepted her. As time passed and the wedding day for Rupert and his fiance drew near, everyone started to uncover the fiance's true personality. With the help of everyone, Anna manages to get the fiance to break off the engagement, allowing Anna and Rupert to get married. With her wealth returned when her old maid came back with her family treasures, she and Rupert lives happily ever after. This book was interesting and the way the author worded some of the stuff was very unique. I recommend this book to those who enjoy reading historical fiction.
