Description
Lady Eleanor Thorne is the picture of Regency perfection, a cold, unyielding ice queen who keeps her estate running with ruthless efficiency and her heart locked behind a fortress of duty. She has no room for nonsense, and she certainly has no room for the charming, chaotic presence of her new estate manager.
Enter Julianne, a woman whose bright spirit and sharp wit are as disruptive as they are magnetic. Tasked with stabilizing the Thorne finances, Julianne finds herself in a constant, breathless duel of wills with her employer. What begins as a battle of wits soon transitions into an undeniable, slow-burn tension that threatens to melt even the frostiest exterior. As they navigate the rigid expectations of high society and the hidden dangers that lurk in the shadows of the countryside, they discover that their greatest challenge is not the estate, but the growing pull toward one another.
This sparkling romance perfectly balances Regency elegance with a dash of suspense and a generous helping of laugh-out-loud humor. With its cast of unforgettable, deeply human characters, this story proves that even the most guarded hearts can be won over by the right person. Prepare to fall head over heels for a love that defies every rule.

might not be for everyone..
I apologize because not sure my review is fair. Loved the first book this one.. found the initial relationship between Sarah and Nell uncomfortable. Wasn’t crazy for the submissive behavior, or the way Beth took Sarah so much for granted. Honestly how Sarah was treated by the family. It was hard to read without getting angry.
However that it invoked such emotions tells me the book was well written. Why I think my review is unfair.

A must read!
Balancing Act, the author’s debut novel, was a great read, but the 2nd book in the Soulmate Series, Breadwinner, is now sorted into the amazing category. I highly recommend this book to everyone that is up for a reading experience that is a bit different from a standard romance, things are a bit complicated and make you think, which is exactly the type of book I love.
I loved Sarah already in the first book and felt her pain in her interactions with her ex-wife Beth. When Beth met Jamie, it got to a whole new level of self-harm for her, Sarah is still so completely in love with Beth but must keep on pretending all is good to be a good co-parent to their daughter Lily. This must be so painful for Sarah, and you feel all that when reading the book, how she can cope is beyond me, Beth is stringing her on, having her as a back-up, even though she has chosen Jamie and not Sarah.
Fortunately, the billionaire Cornelia Stanhop, Nell, sees Sarah, is intrigued by this strong woman and has a proposal for her, a strategic companionship in which both parties benefit. Nell needs a plus-one for events, and in return she can help Sarah to meet the right people. There is no pretence of romance but something very different but handled in a very loving way. That Nell is taking control is something Sarah needs at this stage in her life, she needs to learn to let go for once, that can be so freeing, she is finally seen. Nell is an amazing person, so much more to her then meets the eye, she…
