Synopsis

Regency Romance and Mystery from Bestselling Author Julie Klassen To escape a scheme to marry her off to a dishonorable man, Margaret Macy flees London disguised as a housemaid. If she can remain unwed until her next birthday, she will receive an inheritance, and with it, sweet independence. But she never planned on actually working as a servant. And certainly not in the home of Nathaniel and Lewis Upchurch—both former suitors. As she fumbles through the first real work of her life, Margaret struggles to keep her identity secret when suspicions arise and prying eyes visit Fairbourne Hall. Can she avoid a trap meant to force her from hiding? Brimming with romance and danger, The Maid of Fairbourne Hall takes readers inside the fascinating belowstairs world of a 19th-century English manor, where appearances can be deceiving.

4.5 This was a really fun read for me. If I had to quickly explain what this book reminded me of, I'd say it's sort of like mixing Jane Austen's Persuasion with Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol. The theme of second chances and discovering how their actions and behavior effected those around them,......more

Julie Klassen is such a master storyteller of Regency-era fiction.

The settings in this novel came alive, and I loved watching the transformation of th......more
