A Change of Fortune
Book 1 of the Ladies of Distinction series
320 pages · First published 2012
Eliza Sumner arrives in New York during the Gilded Age under an assumed position after losing the fortune that once defined her social standing. Her efforts to recover what was stolen repeatedly place her in the path of wealthy businessman Hamilton Beckett, who has problems of his own and no intention of being manipulated by an unconventional governess. Discovering a common enemy forces them into reluctant cooperation while Eliza’s schemes grow increasingly complicated. The first Ladies of Distinction novel combines historical romance, faith, mystery, and broad comedy as a disgraced heiress learns that regaining her old fortune may not be the same as recovering her future.
