The Awakening by Jude Deveraux
Since the age of 14 on her father’s vast hops ranch in early 1900’s California, Amanda Caulden has been groomed to be the "perfect" woman. Every minute of her day, everything she says, does, wears and eats is dictated by her emotionless tutor, Taylor Driscoll, whom she is expected to marry.
She is an encyclopedia of knowledge, but no book could have prepared her for a man as handsome and vital as Dr. Henry Raine Montgomery, who arrives to improve the working conditions of migrant farm workers in the area. He is everything passionate that is missing in her life and has a new lesson to teach...in his arms.
Gradually awakened to everything she has been denied as a daughter and a woman, she will valiantly defy her father and Taylor...even risk her life to follow a passion that defies all reason.
