Description

She was never meant to be a lady. But love has a way of rewriting the rules. For fans of My Fair Lady.

New York City, 1883. Keira O'Day has spent her life scraping by in the tenements, haunted by the mystery of her parents' abandonment. When wealthy widow and social climber, Maude Hill, offers her a daring proposition-to be adopted, polished, and presented as a society bride for an English lord-Keira sees an opportunity she can't pass up.

Maude's nephew, Alexander Paxton-Hill, is skeptical from the start. Tasked with teaching Keira the art of charm and flirtation, he soon finds himself captivated by her honesty and warmth as she challenges everything he thought he knew about love-and about himself.

After navigating the glittering, treacherous world of New York society, Keira arrives in England and catches the eye of the elusive Duke of Severton. She's poised to win everything until a lavish ball, a long-buried secret, and one reckless act of love threaten to unravel it all. Now Keira must choose: the role she's been prepared to play-or the woman she's become, daring to believe she's worthy of love.
