Summary
A Lady of Esteem by Kristi Ann Hunter Hawthorne House Series Prequel Amelia was raised by servants after going to live with distant relative. She was more familiar with how the gentry treated their servants than how to be the one in charge of the household and servants. Anthony Pendleton, Marquis of Raebourne is a reformed rake. After two years of being in the country, he returns to London. All his old vices...gaming, drinking and womanizing...are much harder to fight and Town tests his new faith. Especially when a beautiful woman falls into his arms. This is the prequel to A Noble Masquerade. Anthony\'s country estate is next to the Hawthorne\'s. I really enjoyed both of these books and look forward to more from this author. http://justjudysjumbles.blogspot.com/2011/10/bethany-house-publishers.html
