The Best of Intentions by Susan Anne Mason

In the aftermath of WWI, Grace Abernathy is determined to reunite with her family, crossing an ocean to convince her widowed sister to return home to England. Yet Toronto holds more tragedy and her nephew Christian is now in the custody of his paternal relatives, the formidable Easton family, who rejected Grace's sister because of her low social status.

Unconvinced the Eastons can be fitting caretakers, Grace jumps at the chance to be Christian's nanny and observe the family up close under an assumed name. In the course of her new position, she is shocked to discover herself falling for Andrew Easton, the boy's guardian. Unfortunately, Andrew is promised to a spoiled socialite who will make a terrible stepmother for Christian. Will Grace be able to protect her nephew . . . and her heart?

This is the first book I've read by Ms Mason.  If her other books are like this one, I will be reading more of them.

Grace is full of guilt for how she has disappointed everyone in her life.  Andrew wants to please everybody especially his father.  He believes he has been second best and now that Frank is gone he can now have his father's love.  Grace and Andrew have one thing in common.  Their love for Christian.  When Grace takes the nanny position she doesn't mention the fact that she is his aunt.  That in itself creates problems when she is found out.   As the story progresses,  we of course see Andrew and Grace fall in love.  How they end up together is a good read.  I recommend this book to those who enjoy a good romance.

I was given this book by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.  I was not compensated in any way.
