Publisher Description
“A gripping love story . . . the perfect read for anyone looking to lose themselves in a flawless romantic novel”—from the author of When a Duke Says I Do (Fresh Fiction).
Locked away by her reclusive and intensely protective father, the recently deceased “Mad Lord of Northumberland,” Melissa is beautiful and educated but painfully naïve about the real world—and the dark secrets of her birth. Now in the care of her uncle, the Earl of Braddock, she must prepare to enter London society and find a proper husband, a task that grows complicated when she falls for the one man she can never have. Just as a promising new life begins to eclipse her tragic past, she'll find herself consumed by a forbidden love that could destroy it all . . .
Praise for When a Duke Says I Do
“Goodger's Regency debut abounds with quiet charm.”—Publishers Weekly
“One of the most sweetly emotional stories I've read in ages . . . truly pulls at the heartstrings.”—All About Romance
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Goodger's Victorian confection, loosely linked to When a Duke Says I Do, focuses on the breathtakingly lovely Melissa Atwell, who is orphaned at 23 by the death of her obsessively reclusive father and forced to leave the home where she has been cloistered her whole life. The educated but woefully socially inept lass is a handful for her uncle George Atwell, earl of Braddock; his dashing son, John; and her chaperone, Diane Stanhope, as they orchestrate her entry into the ton while hiding the secret that Melissa's father wasn't really her father. When Melissa flounders, "cousin" John is always there to cushion her fall while trying to keep her illegitimacy from becoming public and ruining her prospects with a respectable suitor. Goodger satisfies with this tale of a clueless but hunky man saved from perpetual loneliness by the loving intervention of a sweet, stunning woman.
