Sophie Carter accepts a job as a substitute nanny for a family in Austria. When she arrives she meets the children, Emil and Erika, and their handsome uncle, Baron Maximilian von Hartog. (I liked how the hero persistently pursued the heroine. I'm a sucker for a smitten hero). Eventually the hero proposes to Sophie but she declines because she has some secrets in her past. Sophie sometimes seemed a bit reserved but it may have to do with things in her past (she was adopted and thought she was show more less attractive than her pretty step-sister and less loved by her adoptive parents, etc...). This book was enjoyable and had lovely settings (a quaint town in Austria called Kitzbuhl), some skiing, and even an avalanche. show less
