What secrets hide beneath the veil? When her mother departs for a tour of the continent, Georgina is sent from the rural backwaters to stay with her cousin, George Talbot, in London. The 1835 season is at its height, but Georgina is determined to attend neither balls nor plays, and to eschew Society. She hides her face beneath an impenetrable veil. Her extraordinary appearance only sets off gossip and speculation as to her identity. Who is the mysterious lady beneath the veil? Adopted heir and successful broker Amory Balfour understands the discomfort that unwelcome attention can bring. In a society where a man of colour who is not carrying a tray or wearing a groom's livery provokes curiosity and comment, he too struggles to be the best iteration of himself in the face of discrimination and ignorance. The Lady in the Veil follows on from The House in the Hollow, but stands just as well alone.
