Lady Elinor wants nothing to do with love. Her arranged marriage—and one glorious but ill-fated kiss with a handsome footman—cured her of any romantic notions she'd ever entertained. Now a widow, all Elinor plans to do is rebuild her life—without a man in it. She certainly has no intention of falling for the charming and entirely too tempting American who seems so determined to win her favor...

Stephen Worth is no longer the impoverished footman who lost everything because of the impulsive actions of a reckless young lady. Having reinvented himself long ago, his sole focus now is revenge. He'll do whatever it takes to exact a pound of flesh from all who wronged him so long ago. And if that means ruining the lovely Elinor in the process? So be it.

But it's not long before Elinor finds herself drawn to Stephen despite her best intentions-and before Stephen starts to wonder if maybe a life with Elinor is worth more than his revenge. Can Stephen and Elinor overcome their painful pasts and take a second chance on love? Or is the cost of trust simply more than they're willing to pay?

Contains mature themes.

I think this story had a lot of potential, but it felt maybe like editing could have been helpful. Character’s emotions seemed to shift rapidly, and parts felt disjointed. Generally I liked it.

Good narrator, pretty good story

S.M. La Violette’s The Footman is very well written and it’s complex plot is riveting. Not a single grammatical slip, either (unfortunately rare)

It’s so delightful when you find an excellent author
