Loves of Lord Granton

A country maiden and a jaded lord form a secret friendship in this Regency romance by the bestselling author of the Hamish Macbeth mysteries.As the youngest of four unmarried vicar’s daughters, Frederica fears her destiny is to die of tedium in the sleepy village of Barton Sub Edge. Her looks are deemed “unfortunate,” and her willful manner labeled her “difficult.” She never dreamt the arrival of a stranger would be a twist to her fate. But Frederica and the wordily gentleman from the city, Lord Granton have something in common: boredom. So it is that the two form a secret friendship. Frederica lives vicariously through his many tales of adventure while he finds a delightful respite from the simpering females thrown his way. But is their summer idyll turning to love? And when did this country miss become a breathtaking lady? Worse, what the devil is a certified rogue who is much too old for her going to do about it? ABOUT THE COLLECTION What could be more engaging than the women who rise from the commoner classes and minor nobility to triumph in the unforgiving high society of London.
