A Lady of Hidden Intent (Ladies of Liberty Series #2)

by Tracie Peterson

Overview

When her father is falsely imprisoned for slave trading, Catherine Newbury finds her English world turned upside down. Whisked away with trusted servants to America, she is forced to disguise her past and create a completely new life. Taking on a servant's last name, Catherine becomes an accomplished seamstress whose dress designs are sought throughout Philadelphia.
Carter Danby, an architect who was touring England, met Catherine at a party in her English home the very night she was forced to flee. Five years later they meet again when his sister and mother come for a design consultation. Carter is sure he's met the dark-haired beauty before, but can't quite place her....
Drawn to Catherine, yet realizing she is hiding a painful past, Carter longs to create a future together with her. Catherine desires above all else to see her father set free—even at the cost of her own dreams. Will love be the sacrifice?

Editorial Reviews

In the second volume of Peterson's new historical series (after A Lady of High Regard ), Catherine Newbury's father is accused of slave trading in 19th-century England. Catherine flees to America, where she must start a new life with a new name. When Carter Danby, whom she had met briefly in England, takes an interest in her, Catherine would rather sacrifice her own future happiness to protect her father. Peterson lives in Montana.
