title: The Lady's Secret
author: Morrison, Michelle
description: Lady Eleanor Chalcroft is the reigning queen of London society. She has the requisite beauty, bloodlines, and breding to ensure that she has her pick of England’s eligible bachelors. No one need know that written words jump around on the page eluding her understanding, or that the notion of being outside alone sends her into palpitations. To all appearances, Lady Eleanor is perfect. Alexander Fitzhugh, on the other hand, is far from perfect. His paternity has been in question since before he was born and his upbringing around smugglers far from London’s ballrooms has left him decidedly on the outskirts of society. But he has plans to confront the father who denied him and build a business for himself. Those plans certainly don’t include falling in love with the most sought-after debutante in London. Though the attraction is instantaneous and the feelings as intense, their best laid plans for a happily ever after don’t take into account the malice of Alex’s father, the Earl of Southampton. Eleanor and Alex must forge new lives on their own before they can hope to find a love together.
