Letty Barton lives a double life. She both is both a debutante and a trained Doctor - Dr Hatfield. She masquerades as an elderly male - no one knows Dr Hatfield is actually female or Letty. Will Lord Antony Ashcroft uncover her secret. They met again when she is caring for his brother. The first time they met she was Letty and there was a mild verbal flirtation. Now he is a scarred war hero and she leads this double life.
An interesting romance illustrating that women really were second class citizens, unable to train or work in professional occupations, merely sit around, do cross stitch and take rea as debutantes or work them selves to death as scullery maids etc. Tony clearly depends on alcohol to forget the war and so it isn’t your traditional N&B historical romance as it touches on serious social issues. I did enjoy the book and hope the Author produces more along these lines.
I received this novel from Mills & Boon via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review
