The Entitlement - second in the series 'A Victorian Tale'
... an unconventional romance, an enduring historical novel.
In the rigid society of 1850s England, where a woman's reputation is everything, Melissa Fairchild walks a dangerous line with the man she married ... and never waivers. A union charged with sensuality, passion, and unspoken rules.
Melissa, an accomplished painter, is determined to carve out independence and maintain her vocation, ultimately testing the boundaries of love, loyalty, and personal freedom.
When a painting commission entangles her in fraud and deceit , she must confront family betrayal, societal expectation, and moral compromise. Alongside her fiercely loyal friend, Melanie, she fights to reclaim what is rightfully hers while battling with her fraudulent brother-in-law and asserting her independence.
Witty, sensual, and rich with historical detail, The Entitlement is a compelling sequel to The Preference, exploring passion, power, and female resilience in a society demanding conformity.
Perfect for all readers of historical fiction, and of erotic love stories.
