Daniel is an aspiring lawyer, like his Uncle Keegan. He has plans to become a member of parliament, even Prime Minister. A year after he finished his schoolings, he is still living at Avebury Manor with his brother, sisters and parents, among his vast family. One day, he travels to London and finds a striking, slightly darkened skin, yet still fair, woman with a child in her arms. He takes her home the following week and his mother falls in love with her instantly. Olivia Wilde is the bastard daughter of a plantation owner. Her half-sister was married off to an Englishman and Olivia went with her beloved sister as her lady's maid. Her sister's husband impregnated her on the trip over and a year later, Olivia and Isabelle's daughter and son were born as English people. Isabelle urged her sister to take her son and run away, and Isabelle would get her American Emancipation papers. So Olivia did as she was told. She soon realized that she would need help. When Daniel Goddard takes her home, she is given a position as a house maid and her son is well taken care of. Olivia slowly realizes that Daniel's heart belongs to her, but does hers belong to his?

When the beaus of Star's Crossing return from boarding school to begin the courting season, Mare is determined to uncover the identity of her writer, flout her family's intentions of orchestrating an advantageous marriage, and procure the life of writing and romance she's always sought. But as in the tales she so adores, it won't be easy. Galas, masquerades, picnics, and hunts-alongside an old friend, a former teacher, and an unlikely ally, Mare delves into an investigation that leaves her torn between three clever, deceptive, and wealthy young bachelors. If Mare can confirm which is her writer and claim his hand before the courting season ends, she'll have her wish: the love of her life, a valuable marriage, and a future of writing romance. But with the eyes of Star's Crossing upon her, a business plot forcing invisible hands, and the unwillingness of her writer to come forward-Mare's future may not end in triumph, but tragedy. Set against the gilded Victorian backdrop of coastal Connecticut and lush with pre-war luxury, fans of Jane Austen, Margaret Mitchell, and Louisa May Alcott are sure to enjoy this lighthearted, lyrical novel of young love, independence, and identity. #1 Literary #1 YA Romance #1 Victorian #1 Lyrical #8 General Fiction
