Letters. Miss Helen Crawford had written them to express her adolescent adoration of her brother’s friend, Mr. Benjamin Hargrave. She’d written them to purge her longing, to ease her emotions, so that she would be able to face him without appearing a fool. She had not written them for him to read. And yet, he did. Somehow. And worse, he’d shared them with the ton. Her first Season was ruined. She was mocked, ridiculed, branded a wallflower and left to fade into the background. Until now. Now she was ready to dazzle them all. To show them what they’d been missing. And then she would reject them all, as they had done to her. It was going swimmingly. Until someone began to write letters to her. And if she didn’t stop it, they were going to ruin everything.
Author
USA Today Bestseller Deb Marlowe loves History, England and Men in Boots. Clearly she was destined to write Historical Romance. A Golden Heart winner and Rita Finalist, Deb grew up in Pennsylvania with her nose in a book. Luckily, she'd read enough romances to recognize the true modern hero she met at a college Halloween party—even though he wore a tuxedo T-shirt instead of breeches and tall boots. They married, settled in North Carolina and produced two handsome, intelligent and genuinely amusing boys. Though she spends much of her time with her nose in her laptop, for the sake of her family she does occasionally abandon her inner world for the domestic adventure of laundry, dinner and carpool. Despite her sacrifice, not one of the men in her family is willing to don breeches or tall boots. She's working on it.
