Can't Wait Wednesday: The Innkeeper's Daughter by Michelle Griep

Can't Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Wishful Endings that spotlights and discusses the books we're excited about that we've yet to read. Generally, they're books that are yet to be released. It's based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.

This week I'm featuring The Innkeeper's Daughter by Michelle Griep releasing March 1, 2018.


About the Book

A London officer goes undercover to expose a plot against the Crown

Dover, England, 1808: Officer Alexander Moore goes undercover as a gambling gentleman to expose a high-stakes plot against the king—and he’s a master of disguise, for Johanna Langley believes him to be quite the rogue. . .until she can no longer fight against his unrelenting charm.

All Johanna wants is to keep the family inn afloat, but when the rent and the hearth payment are due at the same time, where will she find the extra funds? If she doesn’t come up with the money, there will be nowhere to go other than the workhouse—where she’ll be separated from her ailing mother and ten-year-old brother.

Alex desperately wants to help Johanna, especially when she confides in him, but his mission—finding and bringing to justice a traitor to the crown—must come first, or they could all end up dead.

Why I Need It

I read Griep's 12 Days at Bleakly Manor not too long ago and absolutely loved it. So when I saw The Innkeeper's Daughter, I immediately added it to my wishlist. Plus, how amazing does this sound? I'm a sucker for characters who go undercover.

What book are you eagerly anticipating? Leave a comment below and let me know.
