Waiting at the Church // Emily

Original title: Waiting at the Church.

A captivating young lady in disguise and an aristocratic mitor who refused to play the gentleman spark a masquerade of love and danger in Georgian London.

Emily made her own declaration of independence. Lovely Emily Stacey was just twenty-one when her handsome lover left her stranded at the altar with shattered dreams and a broken heart. She vowed she would never again hazard her happiness on romance. She would make her own way in the world, though she knew that in eighteenth century England, no proper young lady would dare to set so dangerous a course.

With a new name, Sanders, and a new position as head housekeeper to the stylish & aristocratic Amyas family, Emily soon became indispensable, deftly managing their tangled affairs both above-stairs and below.

But to dashing Saul Amyas, who had never let anything stand in the way of his desires, Emily's mask of cool efficiency presented an irresistible challenge.

Emily was sure she despised this impudent gentleman. Saul was positive he would easily conquer this beautiful and infuriating woman. And both turned out to be thoroughly, unpredictably, delightfully wrong...
