Back Cover: Testing his limits. Short of calling out the cavalry, Sophie could only do her best when it came to handling the enigmatic Maximilian Grant. The catalog of disasters that had followed since she'd agreed to become the teenager's companion were as disturbing to her equilibrium as her new employer. Under Maximilian's autocratic rule, Sophie and her past were subjected to enraging scrutiny. Moreover, she and the arrogant Mr. Grant alternated between being defiant adversaries and would-be lovers. Sophie knew there would be an explosive outcome-but would they emerge fighting...or loving?

Gracious Lady by Carole Mortimer
Harlequin Presents # 1657 - June 1994

Sophie Gordon had been a very impulsive teen and now in her early twenties she's paying for her rebellious past. She travels to the country estate where her Aunt Millie works as a housekeeper, in the hopes of a temporary job as companion to the estate owner's teenage daughter while she's home on summer break. From the first meeting with Maximilian Grant, he makes it quite obvious that he disapproves of Sophie and even has her past investigated much to Sophie's distress. Sophie has paid dearly for her past mistakes and she's worked very hard to keep moving forward. Maximilian's daughter Jennie proves just as challenging as her arrogant father, and soon Sophie finds herself on a roller coaster ride that makes her stay very turbulent. Most confusing of all is the intense attraction between Sophie and her arrogant employer; one moment they are despising one another, the next they are in a passionate embrace.

I am really enjoying Ms. Mortimer's early Presents. I find her stories flow easily and her characters are very realistic for the time they had been written. Her heroines tend to be very young, though they are usually very mature. Sophie is such a heroine. She cringes at remembrance of past mistakes, and strives to move on. Maximilian is a man very used to getting his own way, but he admires Sophie's spirit and the way she stands up to him. This is another very pleasant, quick read. :D
