I didn’t quite like this novella as much as everyone else seems to, but it definitely proves Courtney Milan hasn’t lost her touch with historical romance, after the disappointing first outing in this series.

Milan back on excellent form
Daisy Whitlaw has an almost impossible dream. She wants to open her own shop, selling affordable everyday luxuries for everyday women, but to do so, she needs money, which she doesn’t have.
