Secret Heiress

To escape greedy suitors, an heiress flees to London and takes on a new identity in this delightful Regency romance from the author of The Belle of Bath.

Caroline Chessington is not enchanted by the suitors who flock to Brampton Hall to court her. Caroline’s heart is in search of something out of the ordinary for the time—love—and she refuses to settle for less. She has devised a plan to be courted for her personal charms and not her tiara—and leaves Brampton Hall for London immediately. When Caroline, in disguise, meets Giles Kendal, the son of an Earl, she begins to know love. But the web she weaves to falsify her identity makes a courtship between the two nearly impossible—until she reveals her identity and allows love and truth to prevail.

Lillian Shelley

Lillian Shelley is a pseudonym of Shelley Koppell, who has been a writer for over twenty years. She turned her love of British history and Jane Austen into two historical novels: The Belle of Bath and The Secret Heiress. She met her husband, an Englishman, while researching The Belle of Bath. Koppell now writes nonfiction, specializing in medical topics, but she never lost her love for romance. She received her bachelor of arts degree from Barnard College and her master of arts from New York University. Her books combine research done by her mother, Lillian Koppell, a historian (hence the penname Lillian Shelley), and the author’s own literary background.
