The Bishop's Niece: Book 2 of The Woodmaster by Anna Severson

After nearly three years, Wilhelm Andersson believes he has found a satisfactory measure of peace in the company of his somewhat unruly apprentice, Tor Neeson. Yet he is soon aghast to find himself confronted with the responsibility of taking Tor's archenemy, Albin Ovarsson, into his house as well.
What is worse, the new vicar has arrived, bringing his wife (none other than Freja Lindqvist, Wilhelm's unregretted former fiancée) and his cousin, the troubled but warm-hearted Linnea Danielsson, who seems to have many censorious opinions of the woodmaster's behavior.
