    About this ebook

    Joanna Winterton escaped London so she couldn’t once again be almost trapped into an undesirable marriage. Who would have guessed that she would find danger in the rural town to which she fled? Sir Lucas Montfort, that handsome libertine, considered Joanna just the sort of lady to whom he was attracted—for seduction. And Joanna was tempted… Regency Romance by Emily Hendrickson; originally published by Signet

      The Invitation

      Aug 21, 2023

      York, October 1644 Before I’ve even mustered the courage to knock, the door to the townhouse flings open. I drop my hand. “It is me, John Falmouth,” I say and wince at how loud my voice carries into the night. My greeting falters when I look up and n

      “Do you think she will like me?” The question slipped from between my lips and hung suspended in the air. My gloved hands were in my lap, and I was wringing them. As the carriage conveyed us and we neared my new husband’s ancestral home, Ashby Hall,

      It’s definitely a mistake to have worn the dress to the airport. Alana knows that the second she walks past the terminal’s Wetherspoons – rammed at 5.30am – and is greeted by a chorus of “Lost your groom, love?” by a bunch of drunk stags in matching

      The door bangs, the house trembles, I hold my breath: Bridezilla is home. My son coined the phrase and normally I try to minimise teasing between my children (a lifetime’s habit, a lifetime’s work) but frankly, I agree with him. A blood-curdling scre

      This is a great book! By necessity I always compare any regency mystery, romance, or historical novel to the quintessential Georgette Heyer. This book makes the cut. It has mystery, romance (clean), humor… all the right components. Will definitely be reading more of Miss Hendrickson’s offerings.
