The Gentleman’s Secret Love by Michelle Lay

How does an innkeeper’s daughter become the most celebrated woman in England?

Fame certainly has its advantages - Molly’s dream of marrying a gentleman is finally within her reach. But her newfound celebrity threatens to ruin her reputation. When forced to flee to her aunt’s country estate with Henry, her childhood friend, Molly must choose between the husband she’s always wished for and the boy she found in a field.

Haunted by his painful past, Henry knows he must never marry. He had long-ago resigned himself to his fate as an unrequited lover. However, there are signs that Molly may return his affections. Will he have the strength to resist his best friend - the girl who once saved his life - to prevent history from repeating itself?
