Maxim Trevelyan, the reluctant Earl of Trevethick, has followed the woman he loves to the wilds of Albania. After fighting for her and winning her heart, he must now marry her—at the barrel of a shotgun. But can a reformed rake like Maxim ever truly become a good husband—or will his newly found happiness collapse because of his own bad reputation and the secrets of his family?

Alessia Demachi has escaped kidnappers and traffickers, and has won the heart of the man she loves, but can she make this marriage work? Faced with Maxim's past, his hostile family, as well as the gazes and whispers of the London elite, will she ever be accepted as Maxim’s countess—or will she always be his former cleaning lady? From the uncharted mountains of Albania to the idyllic English countryside and the dark allure of London, 'The Lady' is a captivating journey of passion and love, acceptance and redemption.

The sequel to the #1 New York Times bestseller "The Mister," an original and moving love story from the author of the phenomenon "Fifty Shades."
