That duty done, my fortitude was exhausted, I saw before me, not the erring husbandโthe being who had blighted my youth by anxiety, and wounded all the dearest feelings of my soul; but the playfellow of my childhood, the idolized object of my youthful heart, and the husband of my virgin affections!

โฆ Synopsis
Edith Lutz doesn๏ฟฝt want to be found. She๏ฟฝs left behind a comfortable home in a flurry of hastily packed bags, fleeing for an anonymous life in the city. With a new look, new name and new job as live-in housekeeper to wealthy publisher Adam, she๏ฟฝs hoping to outwit her past and build herself a new life. Again.
A breath of fresh air in newly-divorced Adam๏ฟฝs empty home, Edith soon becomes more than just the woman who does the dishes. Over long summer nights, Edith finds herself experiencing love for the first time, while Adam knows nothing of the real woman he๏ฟฝs falling for.
Haunted by an impossible choice she faced as a teenager and the devastating repercussions that ended her closest friendship, Edith's been running ever since. She can never be quite sure whether her past is behind her. In fact, she๏ฟฝs pretty sure it๏ฟฝs not.
