Cry, or Better Yet, Beg
After losing her parents at the age of 12, Layla Llewellyn is passed from one uncaring relative to another until she’s sent away to another country altogether. Arriving in the Empire of Berg, she is placed in the care of Bill Remmer, a gruff distant relative who seems to care for little else other than his work as a groundskeeper for the renowned Herhardt family. After years of neglect, all Layla wants is a place to call home, but her encounters with the dashing Duke Matthias von Herhardt and the rest of high society pose trials and tribulations for the tender-hearted girl. This series contains themes regarding child abuse that may not be suitable for all readers. Viewer discretion is advised.
