Maid for the Earl: Book 2 Victorian Romance Novella Series by LisaHiggins3

SAMPLE CHAPTERS ONLY: Published in edited edition on Amazon *Trigger warning: small amount of physical and mental abuse in this otherwise loving and humorous story. After climbing the ranks from her humble beginnings of scullery maid to lady's maid, Nora Sharpe finds herself surrounded by luxury, refinement, and mostly peace. Finally happy and content with her life, Nora is now headed to Bath as a companion to the infamous and eccentric Lady Margaret, the Countess of Blakely. But, Lady Margaret sees something special in the young beauty and intends to turn her into a lady. Sponsoring Miss Nora Sharpe for a London Season will entertain Margaret's restless soul and quirky mind. Once she properly-or improperly-launches Nora into London's High Society, Lady Margaret plans to land Nora a titled husband, and the Cunning Countess will stop at nothing to get what she wants. Although grateful to Lady Margaret for such an extraordinary opportunity and kind gesture, Nora spends sleepless nights filled with worry and dread. As much as she loves daydreaming of the life the countess is offering, Nora knows with certainty it can never be. Should Nora unburden herself of the secret she's kept bottled inside for years? And if so, to whom can she trust? Or should she run while she still has the chance? Are the affections of an eccentric, loving, and stubborn countess, a devilishly handsome, mysterious duke, and a kind, romantic, and swoon-worthy earl enough to make Nora finally face the demons of her past? Book Two of my Victorian Novella series and can be read as a stand-alone book, but reading Book One, "The Heart of a Viscount" will give the reader more back history on Nora, my heroine in this one. A library, not bedroom romance.

She moved slowly, as if wanting permission as she lifted one hand up to rest on his good shoulder. He chuckled, meeting her lips and humming happily against her mouth. "I love you too." She finally admitted between kisses. Cassius paused, pulling back to see her fully. "You mean it?" Emmeline nodded, suddenly embarrassed. His answering smile was triumphant.

With a burst of courage, she and two other girls planned their escape. Yet their defiance was met with death and ruin - their bodies left to freeze beside the morning trash. But Daniel Wellinger, a respected apothecary, found one of the girls alive and took her home. He nursed her back to health and gave her a new name, a new life - Deborah. Despite the prejudices of the land of Fantasia, Deborah grew like a flower under Daniel's protective care. She learned his apothecary craft and became a prodigy in violin playing.

Torn between a man who'd do anything for her and a man who'd do anything to get her, Deborah must fight for the career, freedom, and love she truly deserves.
