THE WITTIER SISTER

Inspired by her accomplished elder sister, Blanche Starhope is determined to be known for more than her looks. When she has the opportunity to visit her literary cousin in Oxford, she brings along her dour maid, Velma, as a companion. Unfortunately, when the cousin is called out of town, Blanche is faced with a dilemma; she yearns to see the sights, but if she remains in Oxford unchaperoned, word might get back to her father. Against Velma’s objections, Blanche dresses her as a lady and Blanche dons a disguise as her maid. As they take in all that Oxford has to offer, they attract two of the most handsome—and exceedingly inappropriate—men they’ve ever met.

The Wittier Sister is Book Two of The Starhope Sisters Series, which shares a common world with The Mannequin Series. Although The Wittier Sister is scheduled for release on February 28th, you can pre-order it right now at a special, low price until then HERE.

What reviewers are saying:

5-Stars: “While Rogers has always compared favorably to Robin McKinley in her ability to write fairytale romances in realistic, historical settings, I couldn’t help but be reminded this time of Frances Hodgson Burnett of “The Secret Garden” and “A Little Princess” fame (even before I read the sneak peek for the next book, lol) despite the more mature topics in this story. There are clear “good guys” and “bad guys”, yet Rogers characters are still believable because they are very human and appealing.” ~ Vibliophile (Vine Voice)

5-Stars: “There’s plenty of scandal and outlandish events, but I love stories about a poor, down on her luck girl getting a happy ending. ” ~ Reader
