Doing my bit to ease the lockdown situation I'm making one of my titles free for a little while as from today. Others will follow in due course.
So why not hop over to
and grab a copy while you can?

My
word, where to start?
This
novel is concerned with little more than marriage. It takes place over the
space of a few days as a family is drawn together for a wedding. And little
else is on the minds of the guests. But there is a ghost story that is
seamlessly blended into the plot and adds a delightful frisson of mystery and
danger.
This is
pure Austen. A family who want to marry off their youngsters, and that is
pretty much the main theme of this novel yet as simplistic as that sounds, it
does it perfectly. Even if the ghost story were taken out completely, this
tale would still work perfectly. It would still be as readable, it would
still flow as smoothly and with the same surprising pace.
This is
an absolute gem of a novel, a delight, one of the best Regency Romances I
have ever read. I could not put this down. I read it in a handful of hours
and resented the time I had to leave it alone.
As a
classic Regency Romance, this is a must if you like the genre. I can't praise
it highly enough.
