Terribly Lottey
by Lacie Perry Parker
Sharlotte Devingrole, or Lottey, begins recording daily trials in a stolen diary, which surprisingly turns into a journey as her life goes from pretty shoes and gourmet feasts to mucking stables and running from the enemy. Wit, danger, romance, and magic make her life a much more desirable read than she ever thought possible.Sharlotte Marish Rose Devingrole, or Lottey, is a rather rotten and overindulged young lady, as proof served in her personal journal. Daily cotillions, designing of gowns and walloping servants over the head is the average way to pass the time until a horrible family secret forces her out of her comfort zone, and life as she knows it. Forced to wait upon her worst enemy as a maid, Lottey meets a strangely patient yet brawny rogue working as a hall boy, named Ryse. After a series of very exciting but terrible misfortunes, she must choose to either run away or face certain death. And so begins a journey complete with an ocean crossing, sailors and scallywags, a dashingly handsome villain, surprise family lineage and talking potted plants. Will Lottey despise a life of hard work, adventures, romance and battles of wit…or will she find it all terribly exciting?
