The Marquess’s Forbidden Cinderella (Surprising the Ton Book 2)

Description

Christian Hughes, Marquess of Hillingdon, is a handsome young widower who’s never known true love, except for his small son, the product of an unhappy arranged marriage that ended with his wife’s death. Spurning his parents’ plan for him to remarry a rich lady of the ton, his interest is caught by a new maid in the household. She’s beautiful, but unlike other maids, she’s also educated and refined. After seeing how gentle she is with his son, he appoints her his nursemaid. But is it only because of her care for the child, or something altogether different?

Fate has been cruel to the impoverished baron’s daughter Gloria Swann, who’s forced to bury her noble past beneath a web of lies to gain employment as a lowly maid in a Duke’s household. There she meets his charming son, the Marquess, unexpectedly gaining his trust enough to be made nursemaid to his adorable son. Life seems to take a turn for the better until she begins to fall for her employer, and the past closes in, threatening her future . . .  Would she be given a second chance for a better life?
