Bestselling author Mary Ellis (A Widow’s Hope) presents The Last Heiress, a new romantic standalone that intertwines the lives of a British manufacturing heiress and an American merchant caught in the turbulent time of the War Between the States.
Amanda Dunn set sail from England for Wilmington, North Carolina, hoping to somehow restore shipments of cotton for her family’s textile mills, which have been severely disrupted by the American Civil War. But when she meets Nathaniel Cooper, her desire to conduct business and quickly return to England changes.
Amanda’s family across the sea deems the hardworking merchant unsuitable for the lovey and accomplished heiress. And when Nate himself begins to draw away, Amanda has her own battle for a happy future on her hands.
As the War Between the States heats up, Nate’s brother, a Confederate officer, comes for a visit. Nate begins to think about joining up—not in support of slavery but to watch his brother’s back. Yet will this potentially life-changing decision put the union between him and Amanda she so wishes for in jeopardy?

“What a wonderful historical romance, set in the Civil War ear! It is so captivating. Mary Ellis has done it yet again, written another fabulous book! I could picture the grand homes, gardens and the stores in the story. There were characters that I loved and one that I felt like slapping at times. A story that was so well written that the characters were practically brought to life in the telling of this story. If you love historical fiction be sure to get your copy of this book today! You won’t be disappointed with this book. Looking forward to the next book that comes out by Mary Ellis. 5 stars!”
