Romance Historical
A spellbinding historical novel of beauty and greed and
surprising redemption. England, 1660. Ella Appleby believes she is destined for
better things than slaving as a housemaid and dodging the
blows of her drunken father. When her employer dies
suddenly, she seizes her chance--taking his valuables and
fleeing the countryside with her sister for the golden
prospects of London. But London may not be the promised land
she expects. Work is hard to find, until Ella takes up with
a dashing and dubious gentleman with ties to the London
underworld. Meanwhile, her old employer's twin brother is
in
hot pursuit of the sisters. Set in a London of atmospheric coffee houses, gilded
mansions, and shady pawnshops hidden from rich men's view,
Deborah Swift's The Gilded Lily is a dazzling novel
of historical adventure.
