The Lady's Secret

Lady Eleanor Chalcroft is perfect. She has the requisite beauty, bloodlines, and breeding to ensure that she has her pick of England’s eligible bachelors. No one need know that written words jump around on the page eluding her understanding, or that the notion of being outside alone sends her into palpitations, or that she isn't remotely interested in England's eligible bachelors.

Alexander Fitzhugh is far from perfect. His paternity has been in question since before he was born and his upbringing around smugglers far from London’s ballrooms has left him decidedly on the outskirts of society. He has plans to confront the father who denied him and build a business for himself and those plans certainly don’t include falling in love with the most sought-after debutante in London.

Though the attraction is instantaneous and the feelings as intense, their best laid plans for a happily ever after don’t take into account the malice of Alex’s father, the Earl of Southampton. Eleanor and Alex must forge new lives on their own before they can hope to find a love together.
