The Desire of a Lady

This tender Regency romance is highly entertaining and humourous as Lady Lily navigates her way through society. Recently discovered by her brother and acknowledged as his sister, Lily is far more comfortable being in service than having to survive the gossiping ton. Apart from being beautiful and having bountiful dowry, Lily also has a good head on her shoulders and her direct approach to her suitors draws out their true intentions, even before they realise it. However, there is one man that she has dreamed of for years and when she meets him again, Lily is thrown into a quandary as she weighs her options. William Overby has never forgotten the pretty maid Lily and is shocked to see her dressed as a lady. He is a self-made man, having come from humble beginnings and through hard work and perseverance, has proved himself worthy of the trust that has been put in him. Whether he is good enough to win not only Lily to his side but her brother as well, William is uncharacteristically clumsy and inept until matters are taken out of his hands. This charming romance is fast-paced and well written. There are so many characters that one has difficulty placing them at times, but suffice to say that they are one big, happy, and raucous family where keeping the relationships straight is a tale in itself.
