Christian historical romance
The Maid of Fairbourne Hall
Heiress Margaret Macy faces pressure from a predatory stepfather to marry his nephew before she gains control of her fortune. She escapes by disguising herself as a housemaid and finds employment at Fairbourne Hall, the home of the Upchurch brothers whose attentions she once treated carelessly. Work belowstairs exposes the labor and vulnerabilities her former rank allowed her to overlook while making concealment increasingly difficult. Lively and romantic, this Regency novel suits readers who enjoy hidden identities, upstairs-downstairs settings, inheritance deadlines, humbled heroines, and second chances earned through seeing familiar people and privileges from the servants' side of the house.
