Raina Bretton is a rag woman in London’s east end when a handsome stranger appears in a dank alley and offers her a glittering smile and a chance for adventure. Rothburne Abbey has a unique position for her, one that will take her away from her hardscrabble life and give her a chance to be a lady. Things she could only dream of might be coming true. But some dreams turn out to be nightmares.
Though Raina has traded squalor for silk and satin, something about the abbey is deeply unsettling. As she wrestles with her true identity, the ruin, decay, and secrets she finds at the heart of the old mansion tear at her confidence and threaten to reveal her for who she really is. Only one man stands between her and the danger that lurks within–and only if he decides to keep her biggest secret hidden.

"I never needed a new identity -just a better understanding of the one who gave it to me." - Diary of a Substitute Countess
Out of the shadows lurking through-out London's dark and smelly East End, appears a man with a promise; he would create a new person out of the lowly, but quite lovely rag woman with the name Ragna, who ironically was playing dress up in another woman's clothing at the very time Victor Prendergast delivered his proposition. What other choice did she have, surround herself with the cast-offs of others or become a substitute countess?
Arriving at the vast Rothburne Abbey estate Raina Bretton slowly slips into her role as the enigmatic Lady Enderly, never realizing that what seemed like an innocent opportunity might well become a death sentence, but for whom? Especially when the love of her life stands between her and the truth. The only solution seems to be . . . . . . locating the true Lady Enderly, for the alternative is unthinkable and the stakes just keep getting higher and higher.
"I know the shape of her, no matter how long we're apart, The curve of her cheek and the swell of her heart;"
Ever lovely, ever daring, ever longing . . . . . . the author has brought to life a young woman who lives not only one life, but two before discovering her true identity, which "living out . . . may repel plenty of people, but the ones it attracts are yours (hers) forever".
I received a copy of this book from the author and publisher. The opinions stated above are entirely my own.
