Look with Love

After losing her mother to a fever, then her beloved father the Earl of Darrington – and now her Godmother too, eighteen-year-old Ilita is bereft, stricken by poverty as well as grief. For a fleeting moment, she's saved when her aunt takes her in. But the Countess is, to Ilita's horror, bitter, jealous of her beauty and ashamed to be associated with her.
