The Reckless Runaway by Amelia Wren

Adele Montgomery is desperate. Life with her wretched stepmother is horrible enough, but now it seems the mean old hag intends to thwart Adele’s chances of making a match with an eligible gentleman. She has no choice but to flee to Paris and throw herself upon the mercy of her French relations.

Unfortunately, her plans are derailed en route, and she is left penniless and alone on the side of the road. When handsome earl, Bryce Hamilton, comes to her rescue, she couldn’t be more elated. Surely he will do the gentlemanly thing and offer her the money she needs to get to Paris?

Lord Hamilton will do no such thing. Instead, he offers Adele a position as a housemaid at his estate. With no other options, she’s forced to accept his offer. How will this sheltered young aristocrat cope with a life of servitude? And how will his lordship go about disciplining his feisty new housemaid?
