Pierce was sent away to school at the age of 8. He was never allowed to go home again and spent his holidays with cousins. He remained estranged from both parents until his father's death. After he inherited, he remained estranged from his mother, unable to forgive her for not writing him or allowing him to come home.
Camilla is a widow who was hired to be his mother's companion. She is also a foundling and has a young son. She doesn't understand mother and son's estrangement and in a bit to get him to see his mother, writes to him telling him his mother is extremely ill. It works and he comes.
I liked Pierce's mother (I don't remember her name) relationship with Jasper, Camilla's son. Camilla had a habit of being able to see things that others couldn't and I liked that. She got under Pierce's skin and they slowly formed a friendship of a sort before becoming more. I could see the romance growing and I was so into it.
Pierce does eventually learn why he was sent away. It sucks when people make assumptions. Anyway, they do have a HEA.
