The Book
My only remaining marriage prospects were the head gardener, the vicar, and the steward. But how could I marry any of them when I was in love . . . with Lord Brookhaven?
Charlotte Robbins accepts a governess position for the Earl of Brookhaven's siblings despite rumors of the earl's severe and mysterious demeanor. As a lowly governess, Charlotte entertains thoughts of possible romance with an eligible servant until she does fall unexpectedly in love--with the pensive earl himself.
But love does not mean a match is possible, and the earl's friends warn Charlotte that if he were to fall for her, it would ruin him. Just as Charlotte resigns herself to the impossibility of her feelings, she receives news that she has inherited a fortune from a long-lost relative. Now thrust into London high society, Charlotte grapples with suitors vying for her attention, but her heart still belongs to the Earl of Brookhaven. As secrets unfold, she's no longer certain if her newfound fortune is a blessing--or if it is the very thing that threatens the love she's always longed for.
In this captivating rags-to-riches, upstairs/downstairs historical Regency romance for fans of Jane Eyre, New York Times bestselling author Melanie Dickerson weaves a stunning tale of a mysterious fortune, forbidden love, and a brooding love interest.

Book Review
When it comes to Regency reads, the class differences and forbidden love seem like pretty common tropes... and understandably so, there's something that's always so intriguing about that. But there was something about this one that really felt unique... with the surprise inheritance giving an unexpected twist that kept things intriguing. Charlotte and Lord Brookhaven such a beautiful and natural chemistry between them that I couldn't help but enjoy. Beyond that, you could see that both of the characters had good hearts, making me root for their happily ever after all that much more. There were a lot of secrets to unravel in this sweet story, and I found myself unable to look away, curious to see how it would all play out.
