NEW BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT!

BRIGHTMORE BONDS

A Regency Romance with sass and scandal:

Leopold McBride is quite happy to marry the young lady his parents have chosen for him – until he meets and falls in love with the last woman he should think of. Beatrix Bond is penniless and is the daughter of the woman his father detests. But her passionate nature and eccentric ways are irresistible and Leopold finds himself drawn into her life of near penury and chaos in an old cottage on a cliff.

When his parents learn of the affair, Leopold is faced with disinheritance and is sent off to London, while Miss Bond is forced to take the post at a local school to support her family through difficult times. But her rival for Leopold’s affections sets out to take away her only means of making her living as well as completely destroying her reputation in the eyes of the local society.

Having lost her position, Beatrix is invited to accompany one of the local ladies to London, which means for her a chance to see Leopold again. But what happens in London will either bring them together or force them further apart as dark clouds of suspicion and scandal gather above their heads, threatening the destruction of all their dearest hopes and wishes.

COMING SOON!

Emma Group Read!

It's high time I revisit one of Jane Austen's books (I don't remember when was the last time I read one), and as for "Emma", while I am very much fond of it, I do not think that I have read it above two times. How shocking indeed! Therefore, I am quite excited that there will be Emma Group Read in March! I have been meaning to read a Jane Austen novel for some time now but I couldn't decide which one. I have alreay read the first eight chapters and I can't wait for the discussion!
