Left on a Doorstep: The DuPree Dynasty - Book One (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798987095218)

"Reading Left on a Doorstep by Beatrice H. Crew was like watching those romantic movies set in the 1800s, or for younger generations than mine, current popular series like Bridgerton." -Viga Boland for Readers' Favorite.

England, 1896. On the cusp of her twenty-first birthday ball, Victoria Montgomery, daughter of a well-to-do family, learns that she has more in common with the young unwed mothers she helps in her London charity than she wanted to believe when she discovers she had been left as a baby on her parents' doorstep. Now a ruthless baby seller is stalking her to take revenge. But when a handsome stranger named Allistair attends Victoria's ball to compel her to his family's island estate to be reunited with her ill birth father, Victoria soon discovers she has a history of people trying to kill her. Even her grandmother once attempted to throw her into the sea.

Victoria develops feelings for Allistair, a man she must trust to have her best interests, as he helps unravel the plot against her as well as the lace on her evening dress.

The next planned party is a masquerade ball - if Victoria can survive the event and remove the mask of her past.
