Reese has a scheme to have a respectable heir, and puts an ad in the paper to find a woman willing to bare his child.
With a mistake in the wording of the ad, Faith applies, thinking she'll be a governess to his heir. Their attraction is immediate, and with her family home's taxes coming due, she decides to make the deal.
She never explains her reasons for lying about a number of things, and although he's angry initially, he doesn't ask her any further.
I like that prejudice is a theme, so timely in our current upheavals in the Trump regime in the US. But of course, this is not a political novel, so it's not the main story.
It takes many family members and friends to help sort them out, but it works out in the end, of course.

I ended up quitting 2/3 of the way through. I kept waiting for it to get better and it enever happened. I found Reese to be overbearing, high handed, a total @ss and Faith to be a weak little thing who allowed him to be verbally abusive and controlling. Not my kinda story. I tried to let it grow on me, but I just couldn't.
