The True Heir

Miss Millicent Silverstone has always believed herself to be a simple, unassuming farmer’s daughter. She never dreamed that the special attention Lady Gillingham always showed her was anything more than neighborly fondness. When that attention turned to sending Millie along to Nedworth Hall as a companion for her daughter, Lady Eleanor, Millie was flattered and amazed…at first. The summer house party adventure begins beautifully when Millie meet a charming valet named David…except her new friend isn’t a valet at all, and she isn’t the lady he believed her to be either.

David Sawyer, the Duke of Foxley, would rather be anywhere but at Nedworth Hall for the summer. New to his position as a duke, he would rather be tackling the problems of his home farms than being chased after by the likes of Lady Eleanor. After their first, embarrassing encounter, his heart can only belong to Millie, but she is both too far below him to court and too good and pure to make his mistress. He is just about to give up the house party and return home…when he learns the secret of who Millie truly is. It is up to David to reveal to Millie who she truly is, but will the revelation break her heart or leave them free to love each other? And can he protect her…and himself…from Lady Eleanor?
