A Chance Meeting with a Novelist

Description

The new novel Charlie Beauchamp’s War, penned by Tristram Tattersall, is flying off England’s bookstore shelves, and all polite society is wondering about the mysterious author. None suspect the young, beautiful aristocrat Lady Alice Kitteridge is behind the rip-roaring adventure story. Written secretly in the face of parental disapproval, the novel’s success is part of Alice’s plan to be a successful and financially independent lady novelist.

Convinced true love doesn’t exist and marriage will crush her dreams, she’s determined to avoid both and deliver the second installment of Charlie’s adventures on time. But when her father bans her from writing, insisting she attend the London season to find a husband, it seems impossible. The chances of finding a husband who’ll support her dreams are remote. But a chance meeting in a moonlit garden with handsome, charismatic Lord Jonathan Menzies threatens to turn her world upside down . . .
