New York Times-Bestselling Author: It's a long road from the slums to the London stage--but the path to love and happiness may be even more challenging . . . To better the lives of her sisters in the East End slums, Poppy Duveen built a new life as a star of the stage and then married a rich bounder . . . who soon left her a widow. Now she finds herself well off but forced to deal with her late husband's uncle Hugo, the Duke of Guildham. The attraction she feels is highly improper, but difficult to resist--despite his obvious disdain for her disreputable background. Poppy, however, has never been one to give up. Thus begins her plan to revive her career, because with or without a man, she refuses to let her future be controlled by an insufferable snob . . .
