Book Description

Publication Date: October 1, 1999 | Series: Paragon Softcover Large Print Books

Although born into the British aristocracy, the Honourable Sophia Lucienne Rochford was raised in obscurity first in a French convent and then a Parisian brothel. At sixteen, she is restored to her rightful place as the daughter of the Rochford family, but a devastating betrayal by her father fires her determination to seek wealth and independence at any cost. Ignoring the existence of love, Lucy succeeds in her aim, but makes many tragic mistakes before she comes to terms with her true self. Earthy, cruel and beautifully told, this is the gripping sequel to The Chatelaine.
