The Cabinetmaker's Daughter — Joan Overfield

A WOMAN OF POLISH ...
"Neither nor" fit Hortensia Peters to a fare-thee-well. An aristocrat and the daughter of the royal cabinetmaker, she was neither sufficiently blueblooded for London's smart set nor earthy enough for her father's circle. Despairing, Hortensia turned her back on Polite Society to assist in her father's shop -- until he announced plans to retire and sell out.

Hortensia stood firm: would he not deed the shop to her, as he might to a son? In answer, she found herself bound for Boston to conduct business with a potential supplier, Mr. Jason Anderly. But neither Boston nor Jason were quite what she expected. While delighted that Americans didn't give a fig about her mixed class, she found Jason stodgy and opinionated ...yet perhaps taller and more ruggedly attractive than she had imagined.

In fact, when business was sealed by a kiss, Miss Peters would discover there was more to life than success!
