The Spinster's Secret

A resourceful spinster, a battle-scarred officer, a scandalous secret ... and some of the worst food in England!

 

Matilda Chapple is orphaned, penniless, and dependent on her uncle's meager charity-but she's finally found a way to earn her livelihood. With the help of an old diary and a lurid novel she'll write her way to financial independence!

Can Mattie conceal the secret of her scandalous writings, or will Edward discover that the respectable spinster and the risqué authoress are one and the same person?
