Part of Series
What begins as a simple house party... Lady Rowena Freeham is eager for the chance to experience life. That was why she'd made a pact with her friends to leave England for America—for the freedom. Not until an invitation arrives to attend a lavish house party, held by the mysterious English spy who was recently honored by the Regency with a baronetcy, does she realize that maybe what she's been missing all this time—is love. Becomes so much more. Sir Pierce Rutherford was born a commoner. He had been employed as a groom for Rowena's family, where he'd vowed to win the fair lady's heart. But knowing that an earl's daughter would never marry a poor servant, he set out to gain his fortune. After years of toiling in the cotton mills, and being no closer to his dreams than before, he finds his salvation working for his country. This house party is his chance to prove his affection. But will everything he's worked for fall into place? Or will Rowena's hand still be impossible to obtain? Previously published in the Some Wallflowers Do anthology
Author
Tabetha Waite is a hybrid romance author, published with Soul Mate Publishing, and upcoming works with Dragonblade and Wolf Publishing, although she enjoys the control and flexibility that being an Indie provides. She currently has more than 40 books to her credit. Tabetha grew up in a small town in Missouri with big dreams of being an author after her fourth grade teacher said she liked reading her stories. She began her journey by putting pen to paper writing anything from fantasy to mystery, but it wasn’t until she started high school that her grandmother introduced her to the classic, Gothic novels. As her love of romance grew to encompass Harlequins, it wasn’t until she read “Midnight Bride” by Kathleen Drymon did she develop a fascination for historical England. After discovering Jane Austen and the Bronte sisters, she was hooked! It wasn’t until 30 years and 63 rejections later that her debut novel, “Why the Earl is After the Girl,” the first book in her Ways of Love series was picked up for publication to critical acclaim in 2016 by Etopia Press. She's won several awards for her books. When she’s not writing, Tabetha is reading as true bookworms do, checking out any flea market, antique mall, or doll show she comes across. You can find her on most any social media site and she encourages any fans of her work to join her mailing list to learn more about upcoming novels or events.
