Book excerpt: After running away from her unwanted wedding, in her wedding dress, Liv wanders around in the rain without any destination in mind. She comes across an advertisement for a housekeeper to work in a mansion and, in desperation, Liv bursts into the house. The owner who welcomes her with a surprised face is a local hero, Lieutenant Colonel Cade—the same Cade Liv had a crush on when she was young! After finding out her circumstances, he gives her a trial period as a housekeeper and a room in his mansion. How lucky she is! She’s excited to live under the same roof as such a charming man!
