"Those Cannot Be Saved, but the Room Can," Said the Housekeeper - The Duke Had Hired an Heiress

A land-poor duke, a house falling down in the snow, and a plainly dressed woman at the servants door the afternoon before his ball. He takes her for the new housekeeper and sets her to mend his flooded gallery. He does not know she is the heiress his mother secretly summoned to save the estate, nor that she has been quietly saving it by letter for a year already. This is a complete Regency novel: a snowed-in great house, a competence nobody expects, a front door she walks back through as herself, a secret correspondence, and a reckoning at a betrothal dinner where a woman the house treated as a servant proves, with her own hands and a cold column of figures, exactly who she is.
