About the Book
She’s fought her way to the top … but is Louisa heading for heartbreak?
London, 1904
Ambitious Louisa Trotter has fought her way up from the lowest levels of domestic service to become the mistress of her own hotel, the Bentinck, in the heart of colourful Edwardian London.
Surrounded by her loyal, eccentric staff and loved by her guests — and with her feckless husband and an almost-fatal illness behind her — she is content and at peace, running her hotel in her own unconventional way.
When her old friend and former lover, Charlie Tyrrell – now Lord Haslemere – resumes his residence at the Bentinck, he and Louisa decide to put their past romance behind them.
But a part of her will never forget the secret that binds them inextricably together, and when Charlie’s integrity is called into question, Louisa goes on the warpath to defend his reputation – and that of her beloved hotel.
But when a shock proposal turns her world upside down, she’s forced to confront some unwelcome truths…
Is Louisa really over the one love of her life? Can she master her emotions as efficiently as she runs her business?
And as wedding bells chime, can Louisa – and Charlie – find the strength to finally let go?
