Though Ian was raised on the estate and generously given lessons with the Crewe siblings, no one, especially Ian, has ever forgotten he is the housekeeper's son. Charity might not care what anyone thinks of her, but Ian certainly does, so he is determined to protect her reputation as well as his own.

At a house party, a case of mistaken identity goes too far, compelling a lady's maid to play the part of a lady, risking her livelihood... and her heart! Emilia has always endeavored to be a humble and dutiful lady's maid, but the former seems beyond her and the latter... Well, there is only so much that can be asked! As a student of fashion, Emilia's goals weren't lofty. All she wished for was a charge who allowed her to make her mark in some small way, whether with hair, accessories, or a well-draped gown. Unfortunately, Prudence Crewe is the most unapologetically unfashionable bluestocking society has ever known. As if that weren't bad enough, now Pru expects her to take her place and her very identity at a house party! Emilia must navigate this mad charade while playing the part of Miss Prudence Crewe, putting off fortune hunters, thwarting a saboteur, trying not to enjoy living a life she only dreamed of, or even worse, falling in love. ********** Daniel Byrne, confident, rich and ruthless, may be a fatherless, Irish mongrel in the eyes of the Beau Monde, but he knows his worth and it can be measured in bank notes. For years he's thrown the kind of parties the younger men of The Ton couldn't resist. Now for The Ton to accept him or, at the very least, find him impossible to ignore, he only has only to make a good match. "Prudence Crewe" does not suit his needs at all. She's not high-born enough to raise his profile, poor enough to need his money, nor scandalous enough to make him interesting. Yet he can't dismiss her knowing glances, plain-spoken observations, and when circumstances throw them together, he doesn't wish to dismiss her at all... Book Two of The Crewe Legacy. Book One is The Lady Pursues. You don't necessarily need to read it in order to understand this one, but I recommend doing so as it will greatly enhance your enjoyment of the characters, meeting them there first.
