Short description

Heart of A Rose Series: Book I A Rose Beneath the Snow is the story of one woman’s rise from the seedier side of Victorian London to the grand ballrooms of the aristocracy as she chases her mysterious beginnings and comes face to face with her past.

Extended description

She had no name but...Miranda.

Raised in a notorious brothel without family or heritage, she knew only endless days of drudgery as a servant, shrinking from the life that would one day be forced upon her by those to whom she owed her daily existence.

She had no hope until...James.

The man who, with skill and tenderness, showed her what her future could be. He fulfilled her most ardent desires, explored with her the depths of love possible between a man and a woman — and betrayed her trust.

She feared the future without...her identity.

Alone, wounded, and armed with mysterious clues to her family, she begins an epic journey through Victorian London to find the answers she seeks—all the while hiding her past and shunning love and marriage. She wonders if she will ever again meet the man who spoke to her heart. And if she did, would it change the course of her destiny...and his?

This is an absolutely wonderful book. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading every chapter. It is well written and keeps you on the edge of your seat, wondering what will happen next. I purposely purchased an e-reader just to download and read this book. It is well worth the time and money. Everyone should purchase and read it. It is great.

This book took me on a journey filled with historical references of the mid 19th century that was not over done. The story will take you through the pains and hardships of a young woman, Miranda, living in a Victorian brothel searching for a way to be free from the inevitable day that her mother's debt would come due.
This story will draw you in and not let go. I stayed up many late nights reading chapter after chapter unable to stop! It's a story that will leave you hanging wanting for more and I will definitely never forget it
