Coming Up In The World
(2025)(The sixth book in the Scandalous Daughters of Duke Street series)
A novel by Ebony Oaten
Frank Franklin is one of the first in his family to obtain the lofty position of footman. By family, he means among the hundreds of street ruffians and foundlings raised in the Duke Street Orphanage over the past twenty years.
It’s an honour and also a burden as he takes up his new career for the Eberhard family. His success or failure could affect the future careers of many more. No pressure or anything!
Baron Eberhard is the recipient of a scarlet macaw, a bizarre gift from the prince regent.
Captain Scarlet - for that is the bird’s name - has a broad vocabulary and the manners of an alley cat!
That bird is going to ruin the baron’s daughter Clara’s first season if they can’t get it under control.
All too soon, Franklin forgets himself and takes far too many liberties with Clara and is dismissed.
Before long, Mama has spirited herself to Brighton to appeal to the prince regent to take the bird back. Papa Eberhard, whose name is now mud thanks to the bird’s embarrassing phrases, has retreated to his club.
Clara is left to her own devices and amusements, which includes finding ways to cross paths with Franklin far too often.
Genre: Historical Romance
