This was an interesting book. On the one hand it's fairly typical as Harlequin romances go--youngish (I think she's 27/28) woman entangled in several romances filled with all sorts of miscommunication and misunderstanding. Something of course has to give, but not before the woman is chastised, vaguely threatened and defamed by the love interest.
What was interesting was the underlying plot with Verity's sickly half brother. that resolved itself in both an expected, but surprising manner.

Nurse Fiona Smith was determined to go on looking after her young nephew when he went to Australia to join his father, even though that gentleman had stipulated "no females!" So she pretended to be the new cook instead, hoping that everything would sort itself out in time....
These characters were particularly hard to warm up to because they were all in mental ruts
