About this eBook
Cold, arrogant, and demanding Henry Eldridge, Marquess of Riverton, would never dally with a mere servant. But when Henry is injured in a horrible fire, his pretty housekeeper Cassandra nurses him back to health, throwing them together day and night. As he slowly heals from his burns, their friendship blossoms, and the class walls between them start to crumble. Cassandra is surprised by glimpses of a kind and thoughtful man beneath her employer’s hard façade—and even more surprised when she develops tender feelings for him. But anything between lord and servant is impossible...and besides, as a widow, she knows love only leads to heartbreak.
Henry is changing, as well. His close brush with death has opened his eyes to his self-imposed emotional isolation...and has urgently reminded him of his duty to marry a well-bred lady and produce an heir. Determined to do right by his family name, he immediately begins searching for a suitable bride. But Cassandra is the only woman who is never far from his mind or his heart. Contrary to everything he’s been taught to believe, he realizes his lovely housekeeper might just be his perfect match. Now, if only he could convince everyone else of that. Especially Cassandra...

The Improper Bride is a story of how love can grow from the simplest acts of kindness. Cassandra is a woman who is devoted to her job. She has accepted her lot in life but her inquisitive mind and wandering spirit long for something more. Henry has a title, money and the means to accomplish all that Cassandra dreams of but he is unfulfilled. One event will break down society's walls and forever link the hearts of a housekeeper and a marquess. I have a fondness for authors who write stories driven by characters that endure the unthinkable but rebound and become better because of a new appreciation for things they neglected in the past. This is one of those stories and Lily Maxton is one of those authors. I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review.
