The Autumn Bride

"After rescuing her abducted sister and two others from a brothel, Abigail Chantry loses her position as a governess. The four women must figure out how to survive with limited skills and no connections. When they discover their elderly neighbor, Lady Bea, is basically a prisoner to her servants, they take over her care and the household. Their actions seem suspicious to Max, Lady Bea’s nephew — so Max and Abigail, who are clearly meant for each other, must overcome mistrust and other obstacles to find happiness. Anne Gracie shines in this historical romance filled with clever plotting and rich, layered characters — especially luminescent Abigail."
