323 pages · First published 2026
In 1883 New York, Keira O’Day has grown up in poverty and uncertainty over why her parents abandoned her. Wealthy widow Maude Hill offers an extraordinary escape: adoption, social training, and presentation as a suitable American bride for an English aristocrat. Maude’s skeptical nephew Alexander Paxton-Hill is assigned to teach Keira the manners and flirtation expected of a lady, only to become increasingly captivated by the honesty beneath her transformation. By the time Keira reaches England and attracts a duke, buried secrets and an unexpected act of love force her to choose between the role society prepared for her and the woman she has become.
