Audrey is a viscount' s daughter who has suffered her sister Maris' s cruel, jealous behavior all her life. An act of malice led their father to send Maris to a convent, but Audrey was still left with scars. Three years later, Audrey' s father is determined to marry off his damaged daughter, and Maris is returning. Desperate, Audrey sneaks away. However, life outside her home is dangerous, and she soon finds herself attacked, injured, and in dire straits. She is taken in at Dericott Castle to be nursed back to health. While there, she decides to keep her identity a secret and work as a servant in the castle. But she doesn' t count on falling in love with the young and handsome Lord Dericott, who lost his arm several months earlier. Meanwhile, Edwin-Lord Dericott-is curious about the new, well-educated servant' s identity. When the man Audrey' s father wanted her to marry comes looking for her, each must make a life-changing decision about what to believe and whether or not love is truly worth trusting. In this Ugly Duckling retelling, New York Times bestselling author Melanie Dickerson brilliantly crafts a high-stakes, encouraging tale about the power of love.

' This second volume in best-seller Dickerson' s Dericott Tales series follows two narrators who overcome self-doubt in accepting their physical differences and gain the confidence to love while finding solace in their Christianity . . . Dickerson writes a well-developed and wholesome romance between pleasant characters whose happy ending readers will easily root for. ' * Booklist * ' . . . Dickerson does a nice job of evoking late-14th-century England and has succeeded in crafting a pair of engaging--if sugary-sweet--characters that romance readers will enjoy following. The Christian flavor of the story feels natural and appropriate to the time period. ' * Kirkus Reviews *
