The Girl from Paris

By Joan Aiken

To save her family, she will need to go back to the place she once longed to escape…her home

Ellen Paget's desire to break convention and spread her wings led her to a position as a governess in Paris—and family tragedy and scandal led her back to London.

Benedict Masham has long carried a torch for Ellen and her return has reignited his passion. Now he vows to express his love for her through unwavering help and support during this difficult time.

To keep her family safe, Ellen must uses all her ingenuity and daring to solve the mysteries of the past and present, and in the meantime she finds romance in a place she least expects it—in Benedict's awaiting arms.
