About the book

Joy by name, joy by nature, Miss Joy Parker loves nothing more than performing acts of kindness and making other people's lives brighter. 

Even the loss of her family's fortune and being forced to accept a job as a lady's companion to the formidable Lady Hyacinth Montague doesn't get her down. Hyacinth treats her as the lowliest of servants until her great-nephew and heir, Earl Peter Montague, arrives.
