And when he saves her from a social embarrassment, she’s tempted to spill all her darkest secrets. But how could she ever trust him like that again?

A Lord for Miss Lily, Book 2 of the A Wallflower's Wish series, was about Miss Laura "Lily" Upton and Lord Merrick Hampton, the childhood friend of Lily's brother, Sebastian, and former friend of Lily herself. Having grown up together, Lily, her brother Sebastian, and Lord Merrick were very nearly inseparable. Lily used to follow the two around until it seemed like it was Merrick and Lily who were the closest friends and that her brother was the one doing the following. However, something happened that tore Lily and Merrick apart, totally ruining any chance of the continued friendship, something Merrick never understood. But to Lily's dismay, there were actions made by Merrick that lead to such an utter betrayal she could not forgive. Side Note: Unfortunately, the author had a tendency to mix up names in this story. It was LILY'S brother who was named Sebastian, while Merrick's brother's name was Simon. However, the author made the mistake of later saying that it was Merrick's brother was the one who was named Sebastian, not Lily's. (The author also waited till the very end of the book to give Merrick the last name of Hampton, which was very frustrating.) Two years later, both Merrick and Lily were attending the same house party. While the two were constantly at odds with each other whenever they met up for activities or meals, there was one dance they shared that had caused Lily to nearly collapse. Having escorted her outside to the veranda, Merrick learned that some years before, while he had been doing his grand tour of the continent, Lily had at some point contracted a disease of the lungs that caused her to sometimes lose her breath. Although she refused to tell him just how sick she had been, Merrick was concerned and also determined to learn more about her current health situation. As he spent more time with her, Merrick began to notice not only the changes in her health but in her appearances, too. He also wanted to find out what had gone so horribly wrong that their friendship had ended in such a dreadful fate. Unlike the first book in this series, this story had an antagonist, one who earned the right to be called such and who was definitely disliked by the reader. The two main characters were well-developed, with a maturity and integrity that was befitting their roles. The storyline was a return to that which is usual for such a story and was well-written. It was full of angst and drama, with a touch of humor sprinkled throughout the book. The author drew in the reader with the heart-wrenching tale of how the two friends were viscously torn apart by misunderstandings and how things were finally mended between them. This story also earned a five-star rating and a place with the other Keeper for the Shelves books.
