The Lady's Secret

Lady Eleanor Chalcroft is the reigning queen of London society.
She has the requisite beauty, bloodlines, and breding 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. To all appearances, Lady Eleanor
is perfect.

Alexander Fitzhugh, on the other hand, 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. But he has
plans to confront the father who denied him and build a
business for himself. 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.
