Foxglove Hall: A Second Chances Regency Romance (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

She is a 'harlot'. He is a dashing Lord. Could they really be a couple? High drama with plenty of lighter moments in a second chances Regency romance. Foxglove Hall is a stand-alone novella set in England in 1817, the year the Prince Regent was attacked following discontent among those who had returned from the French Wars. While poverty is pressing on the nerves of the nation, the rich continue to live charmed lives. At opulent Foxglove Hall, located in a leafy suburb of London, tragedy strikes before the heir to a shipping fortune, Lord Barrington, can formally break off his unwanted engagement to Miss Dorothea Stapleton. His head has been turned by a mysterious woman whom his mother, Lady Caroline, is convinced is a 'harlot'. A battle of wits ensues and threatens to turn into an all-out war when the object of Lord Barrington's desire finds herself at the mercy of a stranger who is determined to break her. Notes for readers: Foxglove Hall avoids the over-use of Regency dialogue to ensure a smooth read. It does reference events of the day, including (but not limited to) the impact of pollution following the industrialisation of manufacturing, the suspension of Habeas Corpus, and the importance of having tea correctly. Foxglove Hall contains NO graphic sexual scenes and is, therefore, not a 'bodice ripper'.
