Used book – Destins d'Irlande, Kate Hoffmann, Christine Mazaud

On the steps of an Irish church, a baby cries in her mother's arms, hungry and frozen. Without a miracle, little Grace will die. But the miracle occurs: an aristocrat, Lady Geneva Porter - moved by Grace's resemblance to the little girl she lost a few years earlier - takes in the mother and child. For Grace, a gilded life then begins in the rich home, a life her status as a poor Irish girl could not have allowed her to hope for. And as she grows up, a new joy is added to the others: that of a great and pure passion with Edward, the adorable, the wonderful Edward, heir to the Porters. But every dream has its downside: after the death of her mother, then that of Lady Geneva, Grace feels threatened with being thrown out onto the street. For Lord Porter and his second son have always despised her for her humble birth and see her as nothing more than an adventuress. So, madly in love, ready to do anything to protect her, Edward decides to marry her in secret - without knowing that, through this marriage, he is unintentionally throwing her into an even more dramatic situation...
