翻訳されているエリザベス・ロールズ作品はほとんど読んでますが、けっこう泣かせるタイプの話が多いです。こちらは原書での初ロマンス。この作品もうるっとさせられました。心が広くて優しくて、とても大人なヒーローが良かったです。

Something had wrought a change in Thea Winslow.As a girl she had been bubbling over with mischief. As a woman she seemed half lost in shadow. But Richard Blakehurst couldn’t miss the flash of connection between them when his hand touched hers. It was as if he had awakened something deep inside her.

Seeing Richard again brought back the taunting memory of their dance at her come-out ball. She must tame her wayward thoughts, because Thea doubted even her considerable fortune could buy Richard’s good opinion of her if ever he learnt the truth...

Summoned back to London in order to marry, Thea is relieved to be staying with her godmother, Lady Arnsworth, rather than under her father’s roof, and convinces herself that she can control the situation. Until she discovers that she is not Lady Arnsworth’s only house guest, and that her godmother has turned matchmaker. . .
