Publisher Description
Cassandra Stover can't believe her luck when she becomes the companion to Mrs. Jameston, a wealthy society woman. Not only can she help her widowed mother and sister, but Cassie genuinely comes to care for the elderly woman who treats her like family. Enter Mark Langford, an insurance investigator, and everything changes for her. When Mark reveals that he is investigating Sebastian Jameston, the son of Cassandra's employer, she agrees to pretend they are courting so he can stay in close proximity to the family. Motivated by her devotion to Mrs. Jameston and her own suspicion regarding Sebastian, will the game of pretense that Cassie and Mark embark upon allow a tentative love to grow...especially when unexpected danger puts them both at risk?

"I listened to the audio version, the only thing I didn't like about it was that the narrator gave Mark a New York accent when he was from Boston, though I'm not sure how accurate it was to give him an accent at all given that the country hadn't been founded for very long and immigration wasn't at it's peak til 100 years later. Over all though, I enjoyed it - Tracie Peterson is a fabulous author!"

" I really loved this book. It had so much more action and drama compared to the other books. I really thought tha this one was the best one out of the whole trilogy. "
— Hannah, 2/19/2014 -
" so predictable! EVERYTHING was literally right in front of your nose. "
— Debsorensenlogan, 2/12/2014 -
" I normally enjoy Tracie Peterson, but this book was a fail for me. I felt it was a redundant storyline with a few chunks of variety tossed in to make it different. Perhaps it would have been better as a novela. I enjoyed the story just not the repetition. "
— Rebecca, 1/28/2014 -
" I checked this book out of my local library, it was the only one of the three in this series that they had (this is number 3 in the Ladies of Liberty series by Tracie Peterson). I don't think these need to be read in order; I think they stand fairly well on their own. This book is Christian historical fiction, a genre I generally like. This story follows Cassandra (or Cassie) Stover, as she becomes a companion to an elderly, wealthy widow in 1800's Philadelphia. There's some intrigue in the book (murder, profiteering, evil deeds) as well as romance. A good, quick read :) "
— Stacy, 1/21/2014 -
" I loved this book! Actually it took me the first three or four chapters to get into the book, but after that it was great. I think it is the best of the three books in this series. I hope she writes another one just as good:) "
— Cynthia, 1/11/2014 -
" This was such a cute story! Jenny has good taste sometime! "
— Rebecca, 1/11/2014 -
" A fun light read. I liked the theme of faith running through the book. "
— Tiffiny, 1/3/2014 -
" A cute, clean and yes predictable story. I was entertained but wasn't dying to return to it's pages. "
— Tiffany, 12/27/2013 -
" While I did enjoy this book, it was probably my least favorite book in this series. I liked Cassandra and Mark, just not much as I liked the others. This was an enjoyable series to read. I recommend it to anybody who likes christian historical fiction. "
— Danica, 12/27/2013 -
" This is a great novel! "
— Sara, 12/21/2013 -
" This was nerdy, but cute. I like historical fiction, so that is why I chose it from the library. The protagonist is a lady's "companion" in 19th century Boston. Very predictable, easy read. "
— Amy, 12/20/2013 -
" I didn't realize this was "inspirational" when I got it from the library. The inspirational part was actually done rather well, not unnatural at all. This book was fine; it was just to simple to be really good. "
— Megan, 12/20/2013 -
" I was going on a road trip and grabbed a couple of books on tape. And this is the one I ended up reading. "
— Annie, 12/16/2013 -

" This book was an enjoyable historical and inspirational romance novel. "
— Judy, 4/19/2013 -
" Only one big climactic scene and the rest was slow as molasses and pretty predictable. Overall interesting plot, but no spice. "
— Alyssa, 2/16/2013 -
" I enjoyed this book for my usual reasons (light romance and suspense), but really didn't like the unsavory "bad guy". Of course, that's the point, right? "
— Alison, 1/28/2013 -
" I really love these Tracie Peterson books! The villian of this story was particularly evil. The kind of character that just makes your blood boil. "
— Teresa, 10/10/2012 -
" Favorite book I read over Christmas break. I want to read the whole rest of the series now! :-) "
— Jessie, 10/8/2012 -
" A sweet, predictable story set in Phili. I don't know if I was supposed to read book #1 & 2, but I enjoyed this one regardless! "
— Laura, 8/26/2012 -
" I hate it when my boss' son turns out to be an idiot who mistreats his mother and acts like a moron....BUT...Cassie shows you how to be the better 'man' and do what is right because in the end she will "rise above." Yes, it's fiction, but a little far out there. "
— Christine, 7/31/2012 -
" Harmless and more entertaining than the other two books in this series. The writing isn't breathtaking and the plot is predictable, but it's a decent read. My biggest complaint with all the books I've read from this author is that the main character is too good to be true. "
— Erin, 7/30/2012 -
" Love these books! They are so good! This one had a little suspense to boot! "
— Rhonda, 7/14/2012 -
" It was very a sweet story! Much better than the first! A little unrealistic though! "
— Jen, 12/13/2011 -
" Alomost better than the first in the series! I'm not reading them in order, because they don't really relate at all. "
— Ally, 7/24/2011 -
" I thoroughly enjoyed this book. There was one plot twist that I wondered at, but overall, it was well written and I loved the characters. "

" I mostly liked this book for the characters. I'd like to think that people can simply care about others like she does. She is also very greatful for the simple things in life. The male lead is also a very admirable character. Predictable story but fun to follow. "
