A Lady in Name (Elizabeth Bailey Georgian Romances)

With her past shrouded in mystery, can Lucy trust her heart?

1804, England

When Lucinda Graydene’s father imparts a shattering secret on his deathbed, suddenly everything she thought she knew about herself is turned upside down.

Bereft and grieving, she confronts the author of her unorthodox origins — but instead she finds his heir. And the autocratic Stefan Ankerville, Earl of Pennington, takes charge of her life despite her protests.

Adrift in the earl’s unusual family, Lucy struggles against the venom of a half-sister she never knew existed — and comes to feel things for Stefan that she’s never felt before.

Alone in the world, she has no choice but to rely on his help. And as the secrets of her early life unravel, what emerges shocks her — and, for the first time, gives her some hope of a happy future.

But Stefan’s cousin, malicious Lady Paulina Sarclet, has other ideas…

Is happiness within reach for Lucy? Or should she ignore the emotions Stefan stirs in her?

And can a girl with an uncertain past dare to hope for a happy ever after?
