The Gentlewoman Apprentice

The Gentlewomen Series: Book 5

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

You’ve Got Mail told in silk and sealing wax.

Every seam hides a secret; every valentine reveals the truth.

When Margaret Cooper departs the slums of East London for an apprenticeship in a quiet market town, she topples the established order—and no one feels it more than Peter Sloan, the handsome tailor forced to teach her his trade.

Margaret is steeled to prove her worth in a man’s world and has no leisure for courtship. But when anonymous Valentines begin to arrive with words that pierce the secrets of her heart, he feels known for the first time.

Burdened by a failing business and an ill father, Peter has no patience for a female apprentice who upends his orderly life. Yet through a reckless wager, he finds himself sending Valentines to none other than Miss Cooper. What begins as halfhearted duty blossoms into admiration and dangerous longing.

Love demands sacrifice: the futures they’ve fought to build, and the past sorrows they’ve never abandoned.

Author

Although Emily didn’t know writing books was in her future, she’d prepared for the eventuality her whole life. With her four sisters, she spent her childhood reading classical fiction, playing dress-up, and having tea parties. Growing up in a small town in Southern Nevada kindled wanderlust in Emily. Between studies at Brigham Young University where she graduated with a BA in Humanities with an emphasis in English, she lived in Paris, Lisbon, and the Azores. During nearly twenty years of marriage, she and her husband have moved their family seventeen times between five states. They’ve lived in Boston, Washington DC, Dallas, and San Francisco, and they finally settled near Salt Lake City, Utah, where she enjoys mountain views, hiking, and biking, and she pretends to love skiing.
