SHORT GIVEAWAY - The Montagues' attitude to family is possessive and protective. They are a warrior clan defending what is theirs at all costs, their instinct being to hold on to what they have won. In the past, guests invited to Castonbury Park to partake of the Montagues' hospitality were open-mouthed at the liberality and display and fantastic wealth. Suddenly, with the death of one of the sons at Waterloo, another son, the heir, missing presumed dead in Spain and the arrival of a mystery woman with a child claiming to be the heir's widow and the child the heir to Castonbury Park - and the family finances in ruin, it is in danger of disappearing. This creates an inheritance issue which threatens the Montague dynasty.

THE HOUSEMAID'S SCANDALOUS SECRET - MY BOOK
Ross Montague is a colonel in the East India Army. Raised at Castonbury Park in Derbyshire with his cousins the Montague children, he has come to look on the six siblings as his brothers and sisters. Ross is no celibate, but two things obsess him - India and the East India company. On receiving a letter informing him that one of his cousins has been killed at Waterloo and another - the Montague heir, listed as missing - and the Montague family in dire financial straits, bound by the ties of present and future relationship to the house of Montague, Ross has returned to England.
Having spent all her life in India, Lisette's parents have died of cholera and she is forced to return to England to earn her keep, but her heart remains in India. Before leaving India Ross saves Lisette from drowning. Because she is disguised as a native girl, he believes that is what she is.
In London Ross again meets Lisette. Although she is familiar to him he cannot remember where he has seen her before. Intrigued and attracted by her, when he learns she is to lose her position as lady's maid, he persuades his sister to take her on. Lisette engages his emotions at some deeper level, but Lisette is constantly reminded of her lowly position in life and that men of Ross Montague's ilk are not for the likes of her. To protect herself from his passions - and her own, she is determined to stay out of his way, and yet there is a bond between them which tugs at her heart.
