From the back of the book:
Six long years have passed sinced Angela Sullivan set eyes on a man. Six years since the man she loved ruined her - and her parents banished her to Stanbrook Abbey, where she's now preparing to take her vows of poverty, obedience and chastity. But when the abbey takes in a handsome - if impudent - injured rogue, it will take divine intervention for Angela to quell her sinful thoughts...
If Lord Phillip were not in pain from his riding accident, he would consider himself lucky to be staying in a building full of women. But his rakish reputation has preceded him. True, Phillip may not be his angelic twin brother, but as days become weeks, his thoughts of Angela grow nobler - even as Angela's thoughts of him become lss than holy...
This was my first read of this author and I have to say I loved this book. Both Angela and Phillip are likable characters and watching them grow and really examine their lives and the mistakes they have made and make with each other is refreshing. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting a great read. I finished it in one evening.

This is the sequel to THE HEIR AND THE SPARE which I enjoyed so I was looking forward to this follow up. I was not disappointed in the story. In fact my mother also read both books and truly enjoyed them as I did. They are on my keeper shelf
