The post for which she recommends Antonia will bring this hitherto rather luckless grandchild into close company with Pierre Valais as well as her new charge, the orphaned boy Philippe. Long ago, Pierre's father had been a faithful rejected suitor of Mirabel herself. Would his son's growing friendship with Antonia, though fraught with difficulties, have a happier ending?

But the past was not to be forgotten so easily. Pierre's involvement with music, the world he had known with Claire, soon threatened to isolate Antonia altogether. Would she ever take Claire's place in his heart? Or would the ghost of the past destroy her new-found happiness forever.

Another charming romance featuring members of the Rainwood family with Grandma Mirabel playing an active part. The post for which she recommends Antonia will bring this hitherto rather luckless grandchild into close company with Pierre Valais, her godson, as well as her new charge, the orphaned boy Philippe. Long ago, Pierre's grandfather had been a faithful rejected suitor of Mirabel herself. Would his grandson's growing friendship with Antonia, though fraught with difficulties, have a happier ending?

Ever since her great love Darrel Brynton had married someone else, Antonia had tried to find consolation in a worthwhile job. Then her grandmother, Mirabel Rainwood, asked her to go to Switzerland to help prepare a little orphaned boy for life in England. Antonia thought it sounded like just another stop-gap, until she met Pierre Valais, Mirabel's godson, who was temporarily in charge of the boy. All at once her spirits lifted. This job would be a challenge, and infinitely worth doing!
