'Orphaned. Mistreated. Undaunted.
'Verity remembers the man who saved her five years ago as soon as she sees him.
'Since that fleeting encounter, she'd dreamt Max would know her instantly, sweep her up into his arms and out of her abusive Aunt's reach. But Earl Blakehurst doesn't recognise the daughter of a colonel he used to serve, downtrodden and reduced to the status of a servant.
'Max is heartbroken to hear that the terrified girl he rescued is dead; but the captivating servant girl stirs the same protective instinct in him. Not only that, but a desire so deep and fierce it shocks him. Could he save the servant Selina where he failed Verity?
'From Australian author Elizabeth Rolls, His Lady Mistress is a full length stand–alone rags–to–riches Cinderella regency romance with a twist.
'“No one draws out personalities at house parties or society gatherings better … If you like house parties, society balls, snotty matriarchs who need a set down, or a brooding hero in need of a strong, compassionate wife, then His Lady Mistress is sure to please.” – Dorine (GoodReads)'
