A Housemaids Journey by Darryl Martel
A maid should never be noticed. That was the first lesson Laura Whitmore had learned.
A good servant moved quietly, did her work well, and remained unseen. She was not meant to catch a gentleman's eye. She was not meant to linger in the thoughts of those she served. Because the moment she did, her fate was no longer her own.
She had learned this lesson at Carter House, where Lady Carter had dismissed her for a crime she had not committed, being seen by her son.
She had learned it again at Rosings Park, where Lady Catherine's sharp gaze had fallen upon her and decided she was a problem to be removed.
And then, at Pemberley, she had learned something far more dangerous.
Because Mr. Darcy had seen her, too. But unlike the others, he had not looked away.
And that was the very thing Laura had feared most of all.
Because what was a woman like her, a maid, a servant, a girl with no name of importance, supposed to do when a man like Mr. Darcy refused to forget her?
She had only ever wanted a place in the world that was hers alone. But the moment his gaze had lingered too long, she had known.
She would never be the same again.
