She rejoiced at having finally discovered that happiness of which her friend had so often spoken—the sheer joy of being held, of being wanted, but moreover, of being loved.

MISS ADELAIDE BOOKER IS A HOUSEMAID with a secret—a secret so deeply buried that even she doesn't know about it, until the amiable and familiar-looking Viscount Oakley uncovers her hidden past. She is not who she thought she was but rather Miss Adelaide Richmond, long lost daughter of the estranged son of an earl. And her family wants her back.

THRUST SUDDENLY INTO THE WORLD OF EARLS AND DUKES, Society balls, and the London Season, Adelaide struggles to find her place among the very people whose bed sheets she once changed. Missteps abound, and it will take a stalwart champion and a patient heart to teach her she can be loved again. The only question that remains is, which of her many admirers loves her enough to wait for her to learn?

The Maid is the love story of Miss Adelaide Richmond, relegated to a life in service after her parents' deaths. THE MAID is the first novel of four in the Rags to Richmonds series. Follow the Richmonds as they rediscover one another and reclaim their rightful place in society where new friends and lovers await them.
