“...she
had never thought it was possible to fall in love at first sight...”
An
arranged marriage against her will and Erica Townsend is at odds with her
father, and worse, he is not the father she had thought he was when friends and
acquaintances of his pay visit to the family house. Albeit initially intrigued
and voyeuristically mesmerised by an event that unfolds within the garden
arbour, she and her younger sister decide they cannot remain within a house
where Erica’s betrothed debauches other women at will, as does their father.
Desperate in seeking the help of a gentleman neighbour who is sweet on her
sister, their chosen escape route is fraught with temptations along the way.
Whilst Erica dares to appear bolder than she is, can she truly trust the Earl
of Epsom, or is he as much a libertine as her betrothed?
If
you feel inclined toward realistic and earthy accounts of Georgian and Regency
romance and love stories that are often linked in some way, you may have
discovered from reading some of mine, that characters from one book often reappear
in another. I sincerely hope readers enjoy discovering who fraternises with whom
in the years spanning the Georgian period and the Regency era!
