The Dowager Came Dressed as a Poor Maid to Meet Her Son's Bride — Only One Girl Was Kind to Her

The new maid at Thornleigh Manor was old, slow and poor, and when the spoiled beauty Cressida Varley pushed her down the stairs with a tray of hot tea, the whole house laughed. Only one girl knelt down beside her. Miriam Varley, the penniless cousin who mends petticoats in the attic, bound the old woman's burned hand, gave her own supper and her own bed, and asked for nothing. But the old maid was not who she seemed. She was the Dowager Duchess of Redcliffe, in disguise, come to see the true heart of her son's bride. When Declan, Duke of Redcliffe, walks into the hall and sees his mother carrying coal, everything changes. A will hidden in a locked drawer. A stolen fortune. A cold moneylender with three gold rings. A forged letter, a locked coach, a cellar on the moor, and a forced wedding in a ruined chapel with a deadly bog waiting outside. Sit back, relax and enjoy this long Regency romance full of hidden identities, secrets, danger and a love that proves kindness is never wasted.
