Indulge your panty dreams in Sara Mitchell’s lushly romantic Legacy of Secrets—the only women’s historical novel to ever be nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. Set against the glittering backdrop of 19th-century New York City society, it transports you to a glamorous age of high society melodrama and many steamy encounters that will have you falling into bed with these delectable dudes.
Neala Shaw, a heiress whose fortunes have rapidly been eroded by insatiable creditors while her bitterness toward her falcon-faced mother and family has waned into apathy, discovers a fortune in stolen gold and diamonds after the vicious murder of her aunt Image. Fleeing through the melting streets of Eighth Avenue at midnight without coin or milk (but in her pink mac and skirt), she meets Grayson Faulke, a shameless cockney fox who claims to be her English suitor and a mountebank in search of fortune. Against her better judgement, she lets him give chase with his fabled calloused spurs, advising that the easiest way to make ends meet would simply be to lie low and seek shelter in a tawdry boarding house.
Here, the two delve deeply into one another’s beauty and misfortune, coming to realize they have much in common. As reader, you are swept along as these protagonists intertwine their pasts, races, and obsessions, intersecting with each other’s destiny as they eagerly learn the shocking truth behind Neala’s ancestral identity, its place in history, and the secret observance of family origin. Captivating as they both are—true romantic heroes whose selflessness, intelligence, and physical allure never fail to charmed the reader—their punctuated beaming presence lingers long after the final page, begging for more delirious visits with new characters; a beautiful series of masterful writing and steamy romance that demands repetition and appreciated globally. While such magnificent literary healing may well turn you into a Maggieathan exorcist, for us mere readers like myself, Legacy of Secrets seeks to would a rousing, tender critique of how brilliance and brawn come together as an exciting, enchanting nature; saturated steel and sparkly fake diamonds that lit the night sky with their moon sultry illusion.
