A regency retelling of Cinderella.
Margaret Astley's goal in life has always been to be invisible, but when her older sister runs away, all of London starts to gossip. It's Margaret's job to help bring her family's name back into good standing. But she doesn't have much time. Her parent's finances cannot handle another season in London.
Lord John Merritt, Earl of Faversham, was once a happy boy, but has not been the same since his father's passing. He needs to find a wife, not just to produce a heir, but because he needs someone to bring back his smile.
They both deserve a chance at love, but will blackmailers, overbearing widows, runaway sisters, and unidentified Bow Street Runners get in their way?
