Is He Simply A Knight In Shining Armor... In the midst of England's coldest winter in years, widowed Nell Simmons is relieved that her period of mourning is nearly over, but she cannot help worrying about her delicate young daughter, Delphine - especially when the heir to Meadow House is due to arrive and demand their removal from the estate. But when the new viscount sends his brother Charles in his stead, Nell is amazed to realize that the famously selfish bachelor is melting her long-frozen heart... Or Her One Chance For True Love? As a younger brother, Charles' life has never held much purpose beyond pleasure - and keeping his creditors at bay. The dubious honour of meeting with his cousin's widow is simply an excuse to escape London for a few days, until a fierce storm traps him at the country house with Nell and her ailing child. Suddenly Charles is eager to make himself useful - and make Nell believe that he can be the hero who will make her every dream of love come true...
Author
Donna Lea Simpson is a nationally bestselling romance and mystery novelist with over twenty titles published in the last ten years. An early love for the novels of Jane Austen and Agatha Christie was a portent of things to come; Donna believes that a dash of mystery adds piquancy to a romantic tale, and a hint of romance adds humanity to a mystery story. Besides writing romance and mystery novels and reading the same, Donna has a long list of passions: cats and tea, cooking and vintage cookware, cross-stitching and watercolor painting among them. Karaoke offers her the chance to warble Dionne Warwick tunes, and nature is a constant source of comfort and inspiration. A long walk is her favorite exercise, and a fruity merlot is her drink of choice when the tea is all gone. Donna lives in Canada. The best writing advice, Donna believes, comes from the letters of Jane Austen. The author wrote, in an October 26th, 1813 letter to her sister, Cassandra, “I am not at all in a humor for writing; I must write on till I am.”
