A Lady’s Romantic Journey by Aria Norton

Madeline Spencer, a high-spirited young woman, has her life turned upside down when she discovers a shocking truth about her past. The man she thought to be her father proves to actually not be her birth one, so she sets on a journey across the world to explore her past. Her troubles do not end with her discovering she is the daughter of an english duke, as his closest -and very charming- confidant is doubting her identity. To her surprise, the Viscount seeks to remove her from the duke’s life, but unfortunately for him, she is not one to give up easily. As she retraces her mother’s steps and repeatedly runs into the very man she would rather avoid, she finds herself strangely intrigued by the insufferable Viscount. Could this be just a coincidence or is it fate? Can she look past his interference and allow her budding feelings for him to fully blossom?

Gregory Montgomery, Viscount of Blithely, has had his hands full taking care of his mother and sisters and is looking forward to finally concentrating on his own life. Little did he know that a beautiful American woman, claiming to be the Duke’s daughter, would add a twist to this life… Despite his apparent desire to get rid of her, as he believes the duke’s real daughter has perished at sea, Gregory seems incapable of denying her company. Everytime he sees her, he finds himself taken aback by this unstoppable force of a woman, and this irks him to no end. When he begins to doubt his initial belief about her, Gregory finds himself at a crossroad: he must either let his heart trust the woman he just met or protect the man he has looked up to for years…

With so many obstacles to overcome, they find themselves at a heart-breaking dead end. Madeline is driven by her determination of proving the truth, but Gregory is blinded by his sense of righteousness. Will their love survive the encounter of their contrasting motives? Will they be able to put everything aside and be together, or will their pride keep them apart?
