Orphaned. Betrayed. Determined. England, 182. Ang©lique Latham grew up in her magnificent country house, Belgrave Castle with her father, the Duke of Westerfield, after the death of her mother. But when he dies, her half-brothers brutally deny her very existence and send her out into the world alone. At eighteen, Ang©lique has a keen mind, remarkable beauty and an envelope of money her late father pressed upon her. Unable to secure employment, Ang©lique desperately makes her way to Paris. To survive, she will need all her resources – and one bold stroke of fortune. Ang©lique takes an unfamiliar and unimaginable path in setting up what becomes a highly successful business. But she lives on the edge of scandal; can she ever make a life for herself? From England to Paris and New York, cosy up with this fan-favourite from Danielle Steel, as she weaves an enchanting story of a woman of unquenchable spirit in The Duchess.
