The Finer Things

“Readers who relish a sophisticated, stylish read brimming with elegant prose will find this Cinderella story a la My Fair Lady to their taste.” —RT Book Reviews (Top Pick)

The pretender

An orphan from London’s East End, a fugitive from the poorhouse, Violet Cooper was tired of sleeping on stoops and being hungry and cold. But she dared to enter a world forbidden to her and her kind. Even marriage to a gentle elderly knight and the title Lady Goodwin could not open closed doors, stop the cold stares, or hush the shadowy rumors of murder . . .

The aristocrat

He was a man of the world. The rules of Victorian society did not interest him, nor could a gauche pretender with a Cockney accent possibly turn his head. Yet Theodore Blake, second son of the Earl of Harding, was immediately compelled by Violet—and soon found himself defending the investigation. But wedding vows were the only way to save her from a certain hanging . . .

The finer things

Two people from different worlds brought together by passion, bound together by whispered accusations, and torn apart by scandal and misfortune. The world claimed they should never love each other. Their hearts claimed otherwise.

“Likable characters and an intriguing murder mystery.” —Publishers Weekly
