Cumberland, 1812. Kitty Otis, handsome, clever, and with a lively disposition, had lived seventeen years with very little to distress her until she lost her mother to pneumonia, her father was disabled by apoplexy, and she lost the privilege of living in the rectory. Without a sponsor for a proper come out, she seems destined for a quiet life of duty, caring for her ailing father in rural isolation.

Yet Kitty was never one to yield to misfortune without a spirited resistance.

With her dearest friend, Marianne, by her side, she embarks on a journey through society’s perilous expectations, where the heart’s desires often conflict with familial duty. Kitty must choose between a wildly charming rogue and a man her family deems suitable, while Marianne finds herself the reluctant object of a titled gentleman’s affections—even as her heart belongs to another.

For readers who delight in witty banter, sparkling romance, and heroines who dare to defy convention, The Indomitable Miss Otis promises a story both heartwarming and triumphant.
