THE T DUCHESS – DANIELLE STEEL

Born a blue blood, Angelique Latham wanted for nothing growing up with her father,fat the Duke of Westerfield, at Belgrave Castle. But his death brings old rivalries to the fore, and within days of his funeral Angelique’s despised half-brother packs her off to be a nanny to another wealthy family. In true Danielle Steel style she overcomes the hardship, even running a bordello at one stage, and gets her own sweet revenge. A fascinating take on how the courage of the human spirit plays out.
