An Untitled Lady (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781943192007)

"Powerful. Disturbing. Heartbreaking. Smart. Occasionally gentle, often brutal. And always enthralling. An atypical setting, an actual historical event, masterfully layered characters and a sophisticated, seamless narrative - An Untitled Lady is a standout, gripping historical romance, unlike any Regency you've ever read." - USA Today

Shocking family news forces Madeline Wetherby to abandon her plans to marry an earl and settle for upstart Manchester merchant Nash Quinn. When she discovers that her birth father is one of the weavers her husband is putting out of work-and a radical leader-Maddie must decide which family she truly desires, the man of her heart or the people of her blood.

As Manchester simmers under the summer sun, the choices grow more stark for Maddie and Nash: Family or justice. Love or money. Life or death.

"Wow! This book was amazing. It was like reading North & South by Gaskell all over again. The characters, the ambiance, the fear, it all has that wonderful feeling that I thought I'd never experience again outside of Gaskell's work, but Nicky Penttila has just blown me away. It moved me to tears, and frustrated me, and scared me. And I loved every minute of it!"- Goodreads

"Nash ... is an exceptionally engaging hero, bristling with opinions and contradictions - an extremely interesting fictional creation, starring in a very highly recommended book."- Historical Novel Society
