Description
The truth can set you free-or shatter everything you hold dear.
Miss Emily Wallis has long sought solace in her books, retreating from the shame cast upon her family. Yet her world is turned upside down when she learns the shocking truth: she is the daughter of a duke, and Agnes Jones-the woman she has always regarded as an aunt-is in fact her mother.
Viscount Robert Wilding, burdened by the scars of war and the loss of his brothers, finds himself at odds with the expectations of society. Drawn to Emily's wit and quiet grace, he struggles with his duty to uphold the conventions of rank, knowing that a governess is an unacceptable match for a man of his station.
As Emily confronts the schemes of her vengeful adoptive mother, and the truth of her parentage threatens to unravel all, she and Robert must navigate the treacherous waters of duty, reputation and forbidden love. Will they find the courage to defy all that stands in their way, or will the weight of secrets prove too great a burden?
If you crave a regency romance rich with hidden truths, forbidden love, and a struggle for redemption against the constraints of society, then prepare to be captivated by The Foundling Lady.
