A New Life (West Meets East book #1) by Merry Farmer. Victorian.

Cheryl, I was looking it up and noticed it was a Novella, must have been dreadful that you didn’t finish it. How can you stand not knowing how it ended?

I’m not familiar with the author but FictionDB shows her with 186 Titles so she’s been busy since 2010.

Hope your next story is a Keeper. 😊
