A Girl Called Foote

A mere parlour maid has stolen the baronet’s heart!

When mischievous Jonathan Clyde inherits a baronetcy and the Whitehall estate, he finds he must battle his prideful mother’s vain expectations and demands daily. This takes its toll and, in a moment of bluster, he scolds a newly employed maid when he catches her reading the books she is supposed to be dusting. Yet, his pique melts at the girl’s savvy response.

Misfortune compelled Lydia Smythe to flee her family’s farm, and now she is keeping herself fed by cleaning the countless rooms of Whitehall. Though enthralled by the magnificent library there, she is not particularly impressed with the young baronet who owns it. However, she soon discovers, through her many diverting interactions with him, that Sir Jonathan is delightfully different from society’s typical idle gentlemen.

Just as he realizes this uncommon servant has truly captivated him, Jonathan learns the Clyde Family fortune is in peril. Meanwhile, Lydia struggles to suppress her ardent admiration for her employer, knowing she oughtn’t aspire to be his very own ‘Lady Clyde’.

Will this exceptional pair defy the beau monde and embrace their unexpected upstairs-downstairs romance even though it seems doomed from the very start?
