Description
"[A] gripping, emotional Victorian romance...Historical romance fans should snap this one up." -Publishers Weekly, starred review
A Proud Beauty
When the tragic death of her gamester father leaves her destitute and alone, society beauty Sylvia Stafford finds work as a governess in a merchant's household in Cheapside. Isolated from the fashionable acquaintance of her youth, she resigns herself to lonely spinsterhood...until a mysterious visitor convinces her to temporarily return to her former life--and her former love.
A Scarred Beast
Colonel Sebastian Conrad is no longer the dashing cavalry officer Sylvia once fell in love with. Badly scarred during the Sepoy Rebellion, he has withdrawn to his estate in rural Hertfordshire where he lives in near complete seclusion. Brooding and tormented, he cares nothing for the earldom he has inherited--and even less for the faithless beauty who rejected him three years before.
A Second Chance
A week together in the remote Victorian countryside is the last thing either of them ever wanted. But when fate intervenes to reunite them, will a beastly earl and an impoverished beauty finally find their happily-ever-after? Or are some fairy-tale endings simply not meant to be?
Reviews
Victorian romance
5By jdt_sThis is an interesting time period to set a romance since feelings between opposite genders were not encouraged unless a marriage bargain could be effected in which both parties benefited financially. No way to entertain a friendship yet a marriage and lifestyle!Wow

4By FloodthelastI stayed up three hours later than I intended to because I had to finish this book in one go. There was no point when I felt I could put it down and go to sleep. I needed to know what foolish thing would be said or done next, and what the characters would do about it. All the characters felt fully emotionally invested in the plot and were delightful. Each character lived up to their potential! This was a delicious read and now I can finally go to bed after I buy the next book that was sampled at the end of this one. Such a good author.The lost letters
