Drewry's Bluff

by Loree Lough

When Drewry Sheffield’s uncle promises her hand in marriage as payment of a gambling debt, God seems strangely silent. Orphaned, and with no kin to help her, Drewry feels she must take matters into her own hands—and quickly!
Through an unexpected turn of events, she arrives in Richmond, Virginia, ready to assume a new identity as nanny to the two young children of wealthy plantation owner Chase Auburn.
Chase, a Christian who prizes honesty above all other virtues, is delighted with Drewry, yet he seems sadly preoccupied. The Lord has taken his beloved wife, and he is determined never to love again.
Caught up in the chaos of the post-Civil War South and the turmoil of her own heart, Drewry must find a way to gamble on the truth…before Chase decides to call her bluff.

Drewry parents are killed in a carriage in 1854, per the"will" her uncle inherited everything including taking care of her. Years later after she is grown her uncle tries to marry her off to save the estate. She leaves in the middle of the night to get away. While on the train she meets Suzie that was hired by a agency to be a nanny but Suzie meets Duke and they decide to get married so she is no longer going to be nanny to the family so Drewry decides to be their nanny but doesn't tell them she wasn't the one that was actually sent to them. The truth comes out in the end for more then one person. Loved this book from the first page. Looking forward to reading the next book in the series.
