“So, you’re back.”
But can he put her world to rights?
It should have been Connor Hamilton’s final triumph to return to Calverley Hall as its master, rather than the poor blacksmith’s boy he once was. He’s shocked to find that the previous owner’s daughter, his old friend Isobel Blake, has lost everything, including her good reputation. Now the fragility beneath her shabby clothes and brave smile makes him want to protect her and hold her close...
“Ashford creates charming characters.”
—RT Book Reviews on The Rake’s Bargain
LUCY ASHFORD studied English with history at Nottingham University, and the Regency is her favourite period.
