London is not the only place to find love....
'Spring at Tribbley Hall'
by Sian Ann Bessey
When Charlotte's grandmother invites her to accompany her to Norfolk, Charlotte
jumps at the chance to visit the sea and escape the fuss surrounding her
sister's wedding preparations in London. Lord William Cheston, on the other
hand, is most unhappy when his mother informs him that her old friend and a
granddaughter are coming to stay. Not only is it lambing season, but he's also
dealing with the mysterious loss of several sheep. The last thing he needs is a
child underfoot.
When Charlotte and William first meet, he does not realize that the lovely
young lady is the granddaughter in question, and she assumes that the man
dressed in work clothes in the barn is a servant. A dinner party at the house
introduces Charlotte to some of the gentry living nearby but cannot compare to
her experience the next evening, when she and William battle to save the life
of a newborn lamb.
Soon afterward, Charlotte stumbles upon a clue to William's sheep's
disappearance. And when her life is placed in jeopardy, William is forced to
choose between saving Charlotte and catching the thief.
'Love of My Heart'
by Sarah M. Eden
Cordelia Wakefield has never lived anywhere but London and is not overly happy
when her family is forced to retrench to a small estate near Teviotbrae,
Scotland. An ill-fated game of battledore and shuttlecock brings her
face-to-racquet with Sebastian, who runs the home farm at nearby Teviot Castle.
What begins as a clash of personalities, expectations, and preferences, soon
leads to a friendship neither had expected.
As the magic of Teviotbrae weaves its spell, the possibility of something more
than friendship begins to blossom. But what future is there for a lowly farmer
and a London lady?
'Miss Smith Goes to Wiltshire'
by Rebecca Connolly
Martha Smith wants to marry for love, and will not be persuaded otherwise. She
is highly sought after in Society for her beauty and status, but refuses to
consider any suitor whose only claim is that his prospects meet with her
mother's approval. Her widowed mother has had enough of Martha's romantic
sensibilities, and is sending her to stay with unfortunate cousins in Wiltshire
to show her that marrying for love is a risk that is too great.
Benjamin Steele, Lord Hillier, is working on his new and dilapidated estate
when he first catches sight of the striking Martha Smith. Becoming Lord Hillier
has only brought him a house that needs significant repairs, tenant farms that
had been abandoned, and only the money he'd already possessed. He wants meaning
in his life, and he's more than willing to work for it. Though worlds apart in
all else, on this point they can agree: a life of meaning would change
everything.
