Product Description
Eager to ease the financial burdens of her family, Cassandra Stover is thrilled when she is hired to be a companion to Mrs. Jameston, a wealthy society woman. Cassie finds herself living a life she'd never imagined-and growing close to the elderly woman who treats her like a daughter. Her new position is tarnished only by Mrs. Jameston's son. As Sebastian's resentment and cruelty toward his mother mount, Cassie begins to harbor concerns for her employer's safety.and ultimately her own. When Sebastian is suspected of fraud, insurance investigator Mark Langford solicits Cassie's help to uncover the truth. But what begins as a game of pretense is quickly complicated by matters of the heart.

I thought "A Lady of Secret Devotion" an entirely delightful story. It is so important not to be unequally yolked, and the story tells how God can work out all of the details in order to bring about many circumstances. Whether it is bringing the man you care for into a relationship with Him, or keeping you safe from unwanted attention and protection. Tracy Peterson uses her gift of writing to proclaim God's love for us all without doing it in a preachy way. She shows us ways to be in God's will by simple example. I would recommend this book along with the other two in the Ladies of Liberty series, "A Lady of High Regard" and "A Lady of Hidden Intent". They were books you don't want to put down until you come to the end, which is always too soon.
A lovely read August 24, 2008

Again, Tracie has written such a lovely book !! Cassie, the main character in this novel has such a natural sweetness about her that endears her to the reader. She opens her mouth when she may have been better to wait before speaking. Mrs Jameston has hired her to be her companion and throughout the book, one senses the sincere love they have found in each other !!God's love is evident throughout. Such a GOOD read !! with romance intertwined !!
is it a game of pretense? August 22, 2008

"A Lady of Secret Devotion" is the third and last book in the Ladies of Liberty series by Tracie Peterson. I am quite sad that the series is now over because I have enjoyed reading stories about strong-willed women in the pre-Civil War era. The book was quite the page-turner as I read the whole thing in only a day.
Cassandra Stover, or Cassie as people call her is hired to be the companion to Mrs. Jameston, an elderly yet lonely woman. Cassie is thrilled to live in such an elegant home and eventually comes to love Mrs. Jameston as one would love their own family. Mark Langford, comes to Philadelphia to investigate the death of his best friend. He has suspicions that Sebastian Jameston, Mrs. Jameston's son may have killed him. Mark literally collides into Cassie upon first meeting her. As he gets to know her, he proposes that they play a game of pretend. In order to investigate and get closer to Sebastian, he suggested that he and Cassie pretend they are courting each other. Cassie agrees since she has her doubts about her employers son, however as she spends more time with Mark, what started as a game of pretend is slowly not becoming a game anymore.
The romance between Cassie and Mark seemed kinda rushed to me yet it was still fun to read about how two people fall in love. :) What I must applaud Tracie Peterson on is in her ability to create such an evil character of Sebastian Jameston. I have never seen a character who's actions and cruelty towards others were so devestating.
Overall I really enjoyed the book. I find that I enjoyed book 2 ("A Lady of Hidden Intent") the most out of the three but between this book and "A Lady of High Regard" I cannot pick a favorite. The entire series was just wonderful and I will miss reading about a new "lady" in each new book. I look forward to her new series that comes out in September! :)
