The Orphan's Promise

<h2>A BRAND NEW historical read from Lindsey Hutchinson</h2><p><strong>A legacy of lies, a promise of love...</strong></p><p>Orphaned at a young age, Rose Hamilton can barely remember a mother's warmth or a father's protection. Instead, she has endured the cold, loveless rule of her embittered Aunt Win, a woman who seems to take pleasure in making Rose's life as difficult as possible. The only comfort Rose has ever known comes from the loyal household staff-Jackson, the butler, Mary, the cook, and Katy, the housemaid-who have become the family she never had.</p><p>But as her twenty first birthday draws near, Aunt Win is determined to see Rose married off-to any man who will have her. Rose, spirited and independent, refuses to be bartered away like chattel and makes a promise to herself - she will only ever marry for love.</p><p>As Rose fights to take control of her own future, she stumbles upon a long-buried secret-a revelation so shocking it threatens to unravel everything she has ever believed about her past, her family, and even herself. And when a connection sparks with a man her aunt vehemently opposes, another promise takes root within Rose - to wait, no matter the cost, for the hand her heart truly desires.</p><p><strong>Can Rose uncover the truth before it's too late? Or will her aunt's scheming change the course of her life forever?</strong></p><p><strong>Praise for Lindsey Hutchinson:</strong></p><p>'I love Lindsey Hutchinson books and have really enjoyed each and every one.
