Can they overcome their secrets to embrace a life together?

Lady Felicity has no interest in Society’s expectations, and positively dreads being married off to a life without purpose. Desperate for a change of scenery, she hides her noble heritage and takes on the role of companion for the young daughter of a Duke.
Gilbert Barrington, the Duke of Rathnelly, feels constant pressure to provide financially in a way his own father never did. His keen business sense has served him well, though his hardworking nature is better left a secret in High Society. A widower with three children, the Duke is far more concerned with keeping the estate from crumbling than finding a new wife.
When Gilbert notices his daughter’s new companion is especially intelligent and inquisitive, he fears his own secret industrialist ways may be found out. It doesn’t help that Lady Felicity’s allure has him seeking out her company and enjoying every conversation.
They are drawn together by their shared interests and an undeniable attraction. Yet, they are holding themselves back to protect their own secrets. What will happen when the truth comes out?

A Lady to Reveal, Book 4 of the Sherton Sisters series, was about Lady Felicity, the fourth daughter of the Earl of Sherton, and His Grace Gilbert "Gil" Barrington, the Duke of Rathnelly, a widower with three children. Gilbert and Felicity met at her sister, Vicki's wedding, though she wasn't as interested in him as he was her. He had determined he needed to pay attention to her when the next Season started, even though he wasn't interested in getting married again. She was not particularly interested in participating in debuting. However, when the opportunity presented itself several months later, Felicity wanted to become the companion to Gilbert's 9-year-old daughter, Lady Adelina, although she would have to tell some lies by changing her name and dropping her noble title. While they both recognized each other in certain ways, Gilbert didn't equate "Felicity Jones" with Lady Felicity Sherton, especially as she had changed her appearance in order to disguise herself. The idea that a Lady and a Duke would not recognize each other just a few months after meeting...especially when they had found each other so interesting at that first introduction was preposterous. Not to mention the attitude she had when she spoke to the Duke was definitely NOT one that a mere servant would have. She was not a humble servant and, therefore, did not have the attitude of such. They were both quite "amused" at each other's reactions and the word "amused" showed up throughout the book, as the author took great pains to point out...frequently and to the reader's utter dismay. It took up quite a few paragraphs and sentences. Side Note: The author had a terrible habit of having the Heroine "write" letters in her mind. She would mentally compose a letter that she knew she would never actually write down. This happened throughout the story, which was very irritating. There was also decidedly more introspection than there was conversation throughout the book. It tended to drone on and on and...till it became boring. The angst and drama of the book were highly exaggerated and totally the fault of the main female character telling all of her lies to hide her identity. The rest of the story just fell flat and made little sense. That a nine-year-old daughter of a Duke would have a companion rather than a governess was unfathomably wrong. There was no humor, and there was absolutely no chemistry, passion, or romance at all in the story. The main male character was clueless, which was sad for he had the chance to be one of the better characters in the series. The main female character was a ditz and that's being nice. A daughter of an Earl who didn't want a debut, but instead wanted to work for her living? Umm...well okay then. But for her to lose all integrity and propriety to the point of, not only lying but also of putting everyone else at risk for a scandal was beyond the pale. She was a 19-year-old selfish...brat who only cared about what she wanted without giving a single thought to anyone else. That a HEA came out of this was asking too much for the reader to accept. For their first kiss to be...well...when it took place was just ridiculous. Definitely not worthy of a star or to be considered worthy of being added to the Keeper for the Shelves collection.
