This was so fun! This was historical romance meets Overboard as Drake finds the thorn in his side Ophelia laying in the river and comes to realize she doesn’t remember who she is. To humble her he tells her she’s his servant, intending for it to only last a day or so before he takes her back home. But between her vexing him and him realizing maybe her accident wasn’t quite an accident the charade goes on longer than intended.
Despite not feeling like a servant Ophelia does try her best and she actually makes friends with the housemaid nextdoor. And without her past plaguing her Drake realizes she’s not as bad as he once thought. This new version of her intrigues him and he realizes there’s more to her than meets the eye.
I loved the chemistry between them and then their scenes where he’s trying to convince her she’s the maid were hilarious. We do uncover some dark things in both of their pasts so it’s not all fun and games.
