The Marquess's Fiancée Called Her a Thief — She Didn't Weep, She Only Looked Toward the Writing Box

What would you do if the man who stole your birthright was about to become your employer's father-in-law — and you were already living inside his house under a false name? What would you do when his daughter stood in front of every servant and called you a thief, and no one moved to stop her? Lavinia Wren arrived at Dunmorrow Hall as a housemaid named Nell. Nobody knew she had once been the daughter of a baron. Nobody knew she had spent four years tracking a single forged document — the document that had cost her family everything. And nobody knew that the man who forged it was about to announce his daughter's engagement to the Marquess of Fenwick and seal himself into the very house she had risked everything to enter.

She only looked toward the writing box — and the Marquess noticed. • A noblewoman disguised as a housemaid, hiding in plain sight inside the estate tied to her family's ruin • A villain who had destroyed one family already and was quietly doing the same to another — using the same forger, the same method, the same patience • A Marquess who had been told for two years that he had no choices — and the single moment when he learned that wasn't true
