East of The Empire

Life doesn't always give people an easy time and this is something Isabella de Claire certainly has not had. Growing up in London 1860 in a rich adoptive family the fine line of her heritage and status often blur in social circumstances. Seen as below many of their class due to her unknown parentage Isabella is thrown a lifeline in the form of a wealthy Uncle half way around the world in Bombay. Although this is a promise of the family she has always needed it means leaving the only man she has ever loved and the restraints that will keep them apart.
