A governess with fire in her soul. A marquess with a cause in his heart. A love born in the fight for justice.

Miss Martha Mason, though employed as a governess, refuses to remain silent in a world too willing to look away. Drawn into the heart of London’s abolition movement, she finds purpose, passion - and a cause that kindles something deeper than politics.

Lord Wilmot Blakewood, Marquess of Halford, is a man of title and conviction, whose unwavering dedication to ending slavery sets him apart from his peers. But when his growing admiration for a spirited governess begins to jeopardise both his family’s reputation and his standing in society, he must decide what matters more - duty or truth.

As political enemies close in and public backlash looms, Martha and Wilmot must risk everything for a future built not on propriety, but on principle. Can love survive where reputation is the price of righteousness?

A Noble Beginning is the intimate prequel to the Heirs and Graces series - closed-door Regency romances where love and social justice walk hand in hand. Perfect for readers who believe that the heart’s greatest acts are often the bravest.

Procure your copy with all haste, dear reader, and immerse yourself in a world where love dares to challenge the very foundations of society.
