À propos de cet audio

Lady Catherine Claverton lives alone and angry on the outskirts of Bath, banished by her father because she was born lame and a girl. When the old earl dies, leaving the ancient title to revert to the Crown, Catherine learns the secret that her late mother kept from her - that she is the heir to a title in her own right. If she marries and bears a son, she will have what her father could never have: a legacy through the female line.

But if she takes on that challenge, she needs to marry, something she never dreamed possible. And the two candidates are men with secrets. The kind but secretive sea captain. The handsome but dangerous smuggler. And Catherine has a potentially explosive secret of her own.

"A thrilling hybrid of mystery, romance, and 19th century scene-setting - sure to enthrall fans of historical fiction." (Publisher's Weekly BookLife Prize)

At first it sounds like it's going to be a love triangle and then it started to wonder if maybe it was just a mistake and identity story where the two people are one person. I quickly realized it wasn't.
This is the story of a young woman who has been despised by her father her whole life. Due to her disabilities she is generally overlooked by society. Her father's standing and wealth means she isn't completely stunned but she's not included. dude you never feeling wanted she's made some poor choices in her past and in her future. thankfully as much as her father despised her he was a fair man , and she had Beasley her parents solicitor to look after her.
There's some stories where everyone is in love with the heroine and it's justified and you're fine with that (Duchess Antonia by Lucinda Brant) and then other times they are just absolutely annoying and eye-rolling. As we go to the story we meet many different people some at first seem like the villain or they seem like the good guy. Everyone in this story has made mistakes. No one is all good or bad.
I was really enjoying it then I hit about a third of the way through and was wondering what I was doing but kept going and within a few minutes of continuing I'm glad I did.
I really like some of the other side characters and I'm going to go see it there's any books written about them.
the steam is just perfect.

lots of lovely multi-dimensional characters
