After her true parentage is revealed, Mary must leave Coventry for Yorkshire and the farm of her new-found grandmother. "No Room at the Inn" With Christmas, 1815, around the corner, Lady Mary is told that she is not the daughter of an earl, but simply Mary McIntyre, the base-born orphan Lord and Lady Davy reared as their own. Will her delay prove to be Trevor Chase's salvation? First published in 2003. Cecilia's plan to return to Bath is thwarted when fire breaks out in the mansion, and she reluctantly agrees to stay a while longer.

The girl's parents have been delayed, and in their place is Lucinda's uncle, Lord Trevor Chase, who has been charged to chaperone Lucinda and her siblings. With Christmas only days away, Cecilia has agreed to escort twelve-year-old Lucinda back to Chase Hall in York. Although gently raised, she is half-Egyptian, and at age twenty-eight believes she will never marry. "Let Nothing You Dismay" In 1810 England, Cecilia Ambrose is an oddity at the Bath academy for young ladies where she teaches.
