Maid to Match by Deanne Gist is set in late 1800s North Carolina.
It's a love story with an historical backdrop of the opulent Biltmore Estate. Tillie Reese's goal in life (prompted by her mother) is to become a lady's maid - quite a coveted position at that time. But her desire is not only to enjoy the travel and access to the finer things in life, but to help her family with an increased income and also those less fortunate than herself. But after Mack joins the staff her goals are steered in another direction.
