The Lady's Choice
by Jill Ann Mai
In colonial New York, Amelia Cranshaw refuses to be trapped in an arranged marriage and turns to teaching as a way to claim her independence. But standing in her way is Roland Duvall, a suitor who won’t give up easily, and Elias Burke, the town’s disgraced attorney whose past trial still haunts him. When Amelia’s defiance draws her into Elias’s legal battles, their clash sparks more than opposition. Together, they must decide whether to surrender to society’s expectations—or risk everything for freedom and a chance at love.
More About the Book
She wants a say in her future. He could be the reason she won’t have it.
With two years of poor harvest, the life Amelia Cranshaw was born into is changing, and not in the direction she’d choose. Scorning a marriage arranged by her father and meetings he’s started holding with an attorney she distrusts, Amelia turns to teach to change the course of her life. But she soon learns it won’t be easy, especially with a man like Roland Duvall determined to have her hand.
Marked in town by a trial in his past, attorney Elias Burke tries to move forward with his life with the one client who’ll hire him in all of colonial New York. The case seems simple enough until he meets Amelia Cranshaw who opposes him every step of the way. But when she gives him a new case that could open up old wounds he’d rather leave untouched, will he help seal the fate society’s expectations have for her or will he help her achieve a new one?
