  From Countess to Outcast…
  
  Shunned by England’s Beau Monde because of her Barbadian heritage, Miss A’laya
  Banesworth has spent her life yearning for true acceptance. When the Earl of
  Holderness courts her, she thinks that she’s found true love. Quickly, A’laya
  discovers that her marriage is only one of convenience. Though she is now a
  countess, A’laya still faces disapproval and scorn from her new husband’s
  family. Only the birth of her daughter, Katherina brings her happiness.
  
  But A’laya does not anticipate how wicked her enemies are. Katherina is stolen
  from her, and A’laya is left without resources to find her. Still, she
  searches desperately, holding out hope that her daughter is still alive. As
  the years pass, A’laya travels the English countryside as a fortune teller,
  yearning to be reunited with Katherina.
