Familiar Scars by Christy Leigh Stewart

Is my first attempt at a book and it is a victorian romance. It isn't totally factual, as it is fiction, but I added a bunch of stuff I like best about the era; mainly the terrible poverty, jobs, and cool clothes.

The story is: Orphaned, throat slit and left for dead as a child, Orabella struggles to survive with her fellow victim, Rosalyn. She'll grasp at any bit of luck, until it becomes too good to be true.

Mr. Satine is willing to offer his home, heart, and riches over to the beautiful Rosalyn the moment he lays eyes on her. His intentions seem obvious, but become less so when he shows no romantic interest in her, and pure animosity toward Orabella.

Both Orabella and Satine live in their pasts, but what happens when they actually have to confront it?

Not to toot my own horn or anything, but it's a great book if you're a fan of spelling errors.

I would like to read this one, Christy. I've heard good things about it.

Bless your heart!
