Because history is fun and love is worth working for

Can she really see the dead?

Dearest Readers:

It has come to our attention that a certain young lady has been exiled to Berwcyk Castle. Visiting the Duke and Duchess of Harfort would generally be a boon for anyone trying to be in the good graces of someone so high within Society.

But Lady L seems to be able to see and converse with the dead! Hardly something to be proud of. And, if rumor has it correctly, her mother has sent Lady L to live at Berwyck. Apparently the countess wants the older sibling out of the way to give her younger sister a chance on the marriage mart.

Stay tuned for more information as we receive it. We are, as always, your reliable Teatime Tattler with all the latest news for your reading pleasure.

Sincerely,

An Anonymous Reporter


This short little piece is a hint at Belle Sherry Ewing’s novella Finding My Way To You and is her contribution to the Belles boxset Moonlight Madness. You can learn more about the set at the project tab above. Read on to learn more about Sherry’s story in the set.

Excerpt:

Rolf… his name being called out in a breathy whisper made him rush forward as though God Himself carried Rolf to a room without his consent. Aye! He appeared in his ghostly shape in the bedchamber of who he assumed was Berwyck’s latest visitor to the castle. But he had not appeared here willingly. Nay… ’twas done by a power not of his own making. What kind of magic did this woman possess?

He hovered near the bed to gaze down upon the vision before him. He had seen many women come and go over the centuries from Berwyck’s walls but none had ever had such an effect on him. His heart raced within his chest and he realized he had reached out his hand to stroke her brown hair that had come loose from her coiffure. He closed his fingers to resist the temptation before him. No woman had ever made his heart flutter as though he had found love accept one and even then he had known the lady was destined for another. So why now? Why would the good Lord above send a woman that could make him actually feel something for a lady not of his own world?

“Rolf.” His name repeated aloud once again made him smile to hear the sound of her voice.

He continued to watch the woman before him as she apparently dreamed of him but how did she know his name? He frowned as though trying to remember her from another visit to the castle but he swore he had never seen her before this very moment. Something flashed in his memory of gazing at her standing at the entryway to the great hall but she had not been from the present day. ’Twas improbable that he had met her before now. Or was it?

 Finding My Way To You:
The Knights of Berwyck, A Quest Through Time (Book Seven)

When a ghost meets a determined lady, can he convince her to leave the past where it belongs?

Sir Rolf Norwood has been alone haunting Berwyck Castle for centuries. He is bound to the estate after vowing to watch over its descendant throughout time. A chance encounter with a lady who can actually see him makes him wonder if love has possibly found him, although to love her is inconceivable.

Lady Leonora Beckwith is not your typical lady. Her mother has all but disowned her for her ability to see ghosts. Leaving London to live near the Scottish border may give her younger sister a chance to find a suitable match. But upon her arrival, how could Leonora have known that one look at the ghost who resides at Berwyck, would change her fate… and his.

When an impossible opportunity reveals itself, Leonora willingly leaps at the chance to change Rolf’s history because sometimes you to need to follow where you heart leads.

What will the lady do?

Lady Prudence Danvers paced the floor of the study, biting her lip in apprehension that the small tidbit of gossip might not be up to par for Samuel Clemons and his notorious Teatime Tattler newspaper.

“Read it to me again, Abigail,” Prudence urged her sister who quietly put down her pencil.

“This will be the fourth time, Prue. If I make any more corrections, I’ll run out of paper and we can hardly afford the cost until we are paid by Clemons,” Abigail scolded.

“But does it sound…” she bit her lip before falling down onto a nearby chair by the hearth… “I don’t know… too harsh?”

Abigail gave a short laugh of disdain. “When has that ever stopped us when the end result will see us well paid?”

“Just read it,” Prudence said leaning her head back on the chair to stare at the ceiling.

“Very well, but this is the last time.” Abigail took a deep breath and began to read:

Dear Esteemed Readers:

The Season is once again in full swing but this bit of tittle tattle is too good to wait for next week’s edition. News has reached me that a certain Duke of S is apparently on the market for a wife since he accompanied a stunning brunette to a recent ball, all but snubbing his  ex-fiancé who was also in attendance. We all know Lady A was betrothed to the duke since their parents arranged their marriage at a young age and yet their arrangement is clearly at an end! If what has been reported to me is correct—and you know I only run the most reliable information in the Teatime Tattler—then Lady A will be considered on the shelf and no other man in his right mind will make an offer for her hand now that the duke has rejected her. Such a shame, since she was always considered perfect wife material. I’m sure the Season will continue to be interesting as the duke and the lady continue to ignore each other. You’ll be the first to know when we learn more on what the lady will do next.

“Well?” Abigail asked with a raised brow. “Will it do?”

“Do you think he’ll make changes to it?” Prudence asked, worried that this wasn’t up to their usual standards. “I mean it’s been a while since we’ve offered the editor anything of worth.”

“Samuel Clemons can make any changes he wishes and you know he will. Honestly, what’s gotten into you today? You’re not usually this concerned with what we report,” Abigail huffed in annoyance.

“Maybe we’ve gone too far this time,” Prudence whispered. “Lady Annette has been nothing but kind to us.”

“And she’ll never know we are the ones who offered this piece of gossip to Clemons.” Abigail stood and went to take her sister’s hands. “We’ve been over this before and although I am usually the voice of reason, this time I think we’ll fetch a fine bit of coin for this piece. This involves a duke, after all.”

Prudence shook her head in agreement. “You’re right, of course. Send it off and let’s be done with it until the next time we have something interesting to report.”


This is an original piece by Belle Sherry Ewing regarding her story Waiting for the Duke in the boxset Sizzling Duke Summer. Read on for a short excerpt and to learn more about her contribution and the set.

Excerpt:

John stood at the entryway and saw the lady pulling at the dark drapery to sneak a peek out the window. Having only just been outside to see his father being buried, he knew the day was sunny and that, under normal circumstances, the bright sunlight would have filled this room, making it feel bright and airy. It had been his mother’s favorite room in the manor, and it was a shame that everything had now been covered to observe mourning traditions. The lady would have made a beautiful picture standing there with the sun shining upon her red hair, now covered in a black veil.

He must have made a sound, for Annette turned from the window, offering him a lovely smile that didn’t quite reach her hazel eyes. She had been crying most likely as much as Clara had been because she had also been fond of their father.

“John,” she whispered softly, coming over and taking his hands as she had done a thousand times in their past. She must have realized her mistake because she quickly sank down into a proper curtsey after letting go of his hands. “I mean, Your Grace. I am so sorry for your loss.”

“You are one of the few people who have called me by my given name. You may continue to do so,” he murmured as he ran his hand over the back of his neck. A sudden sense of dread about what he was about to do caused a moment of doubt to race across his mind.

“I’m not sure my brother would approve, given your new elevation in life,” she answered honestly.

“Brothers never do,” he said with a slight smile.

“I really am very sorry for your loss, Your… John.”

“My father’s passing is also your loss, Annette,” he said quietly. “I know how much he meant to you.”

“He was like a second father to me,” she confessed. “With both of our parents now gone from this world, it seems the four of us are all we have now.”

“Is your brother still here?” he asked wondering if the earl would be joining them.

She shook her head. “Edward went to see that our carriage was brought around. He thought it best to give you and Clara some time alone now that the services were over and your guests have left.”

“Perhaps we could have a moment for a private word together before his return,” he said, feeling the weight of the draft hidden inside his jacket.

“Of course, John. If there’s anything I can do to ease your mourning, all you have to do is ask,” she said with another one of those smiles that always seemed to brighten any room. Why was he only just now noticing how truly lovely she was?

He nodded before taking her hand and placing it in the crook of his arm and escorted her over to a settee. Once she was seated, he again had second doubts on what he was about to do, thinking now might not be the best time to set things straight between them. But he didn’t want to marry anyone right now, let alone the lady who gazed at him with such affection. God, he hated to break her heart.

Waiting for the Duke
By Sherry Ewing

When you’ve been rejected, can love find its way back into your heart?

Lady Annette Saxton has known since childhood that she was betrothed to a future duke. John Fawsley is everything any woman would ever want in a husband, but maybe she has only seen what she wanted to see all these years. He seems uninterested in what their parents had prearranged, and Annette worries her future with him might not be secure.

John Fawsley, Duke of Sommer, had always known that someday the dukedom would be his, but he never expected to wear the title so soon. He doesn’t feel ready. Certainly, he doesn’t feel ready to marry! And though he’s always thought Annette was an attractive young lady, she feels like more of his sister’s best friend than a potential wife. Better to cut her loose while he learns the role of the Duke of Sommer, and give her the freedom to marry a more settled man of her own choosing.

Two years later, John’s sister Clara, and Annette’s best friend, arranges a house party in order to put the pair together. Annette remains hopeful that their relationship can be restored while John still wishes to define his life by his own choices. He does not expect jealousy to play a part in Clara’s plan.

Can the differences of two stubborn people be put aside so they can find their way back into each other’s lives?

There’s a New Lyon in the House!

Dearest Gentle Reader:

It has come to this reporter’s attention that there might just be a new Lyon’s Den member who might be in search of a wife! Rumor has it that Mrs. Dove-Lyon is currently making a small fortune, not from her gambling establishment, but her side hustle as Society’s matchmaker.

Yes, dearest Reader, you read that correctly. For a substantial fee and with the right connections, the Black Widow of Whitehall will most certainly find a suitable match for even the most questionable of reputations, not that Captain Gideon Tyler isn’t a man of wealth. But as a second son of the late earl, he might have a harder time finding a match with a woman who can overlook his scar received during the war.

Still… he’s been seen recently at the Lyon’s Den tables with more frequency and, given his losing streak, he might find himself in debt to the Black Widow of Whitehall. We all know what is sure to happen after that.

Stay tuned to your reliable Teatime Tattler for more news on who just might capture Captain Tyler’s eye.


Belle Sherry Ewing shares this little tidbit on her latest release, No Ordinary Lyon: Lyon Den Connected World. Read on to learn more about this exciting Regency novel.

No Ordinary Lyon:
Lyon’s Den Connected World
By Sherry Ewing

Sometimes you choose love… Sometimes it chooses you.

Captain Gideon Tyler, a second son and former soldier, has returned scarred from the war. Years of lost memory make it hard for him to rebuild his life. His mother adds to the burden, expecting him to marry. Him! With no title and a flawed memory!

Then comes a chance encounter at the Lyon’s Den.

Miss Violet Barnet considers herself forward thinking and independent. But when her cousin Patience makes a deal with the notorious Mrs. Dove-Lyon to find Violet a husband, she goes along with the plan.

Mrs. Dove-Lyon arranges several meetings with gentlemen, but none of them are the man she met briefly and cannot forget.

Over several meetings at the Lyon’s Den, the connection between Gideon and Violet continues to grow, but someone else is working against their relations. When Violet is put in sudden danger, Gideon steps up and offers his protection.

Can Gideon and Violet overcome the obstacles put before them, to allow love at first sight to fully bloom in their hearts?

The gossip we learn when we travel…

Prudence and Abigail Danvers glided down the stairs of the Book & Bell Inn and entered the dining area looking for a place to sit. The place was crowded for this evening but luckily, they were able to find an empty table. A young woman of perhaps four and twenty years with blonde hair and blue eyes, came to take their order for their dinner. Soon, a soothing pot of tea was placed before them. It was welcome after their travels.

“Whatever are we doing here of all places, sister? You know how I detest the country,” Prudence complained to her sibling and glanced about the room.

Abigail patted her hair, not that even a strand was out of place. “You know how much I love the Harvest Festival they have here every year. Besides, we just might find a new piece of juicy gossip to send Mr. Clemens.”

“Do you not grow tired of writing for the Teatime Tattler? Once of these days, we shall be the topic of gossip and then what will you think of that paper,” Prudence huffed looking around the room.

“Samuel Clemens pays well for the gossip we supply. We are hardly the only reporters who provide fodder for his rag.” Abigail took a sip of her tea until the door to the inn opened. Two handsome gentlemen entered along with a young boy. They went to one of the booths near the back of the room. “This place just became a little more interesting.”

Several minutes later, the door to the inn opened again. This time the man entering drew the attention of both sisters. Black hair in need of a trim and amber eyes that would cause any lady to swoon swept the room until they found his companions. His limp as he began making his way toward the table was unmistakable.

“Is that not―” Prudence began with wide eyes.

“Yes. I think it is. I wonder where he has been for all these years,” Abigail said with a wicked grin.

A man came from the kitchen and welcomed his newest guest, and it was clear Lord Brandon Worthington was known in these parts. But when the same lady who had recently served their table took hold of Lord Brandon’s ale and dumped it over his head, Abigail’s squeals of delight were muffled by the gasps that echoed in the room from the other diners.

Prudence reached over and took hold of her sister’s arm. “Abigail… no,” she warned.

Abigail’s eyes twinkled mischievously. “Oh, Prudence, do not be such a ninny! This is just what the Teatime Tattler needs in their next edition, and you know it.”

The sisters would write their note to Mr. Clemens once they had finished their dinner knowing a few coins would once again be lining their reticules. It was always amazing what sort of gossip you could find when you traveled!

********************************

This is an original piece by Bluestocking Belle Sherry Ewing. Lord Brandon Worthington and Miss Hannah Pownell are the current characters in A Love Beyond Time: A Family of Worth, Book Three. This novella is Sherry’s contribution to the Belles’ latest boxset Under the Harvest Moon. Abigail and Prudence Danvers are Sherry’s revolving characters that write and report gossip for the Teatime Tattler. Perhaps one day, they’ll get a story of their own. Read on for an excerpt from Sherry’s novella and to learn more about the boxset.

 

Excerpt:

Hannah stared out across the pond and beyond to the field of dying flowers. She hugged her shawl around her shoulders for comfort. It had taken her four days to come to terms with Brandon Worthington’s return to the area. Four days of crying. Four days of suppressed anger from all the hurt that rose to the surface at one glimpse of him. Four days of listening to bits and pieces of gossip of his war service and subsequent injury when the locals came to dine at the inn. She hadn’t hung around long enough after she dumped his ale over his head to see him limping for herself, but someone always seemed to be talking about Captain Brandon Worthington’s return.

Hannah sighed. Four days… Such a small amount of time considering he had kept her waiting six long years for him to come back to her. She could hardly say he had actually come back to her! She closed her eyes remembering how she had cherished the letters he had sent the first two years after he left. She had read them so many times, that she had memorized each and every word. And then…nothing. No word. No more letters. Just silence. After six additional years of waiting, she had given up hope. After all, how long was she supposed to wait for a man’s return?

After she had dumped his drink over his head, she refused to apologize to the man despite her parent’s anger that she had treated a guest in such a manner. He deserved it and more! She supposed her sudden actions had been immature and childish but at the time her behavior had seemed appropriate. But even when Brandon sent a note asking for her to meet with him, she had refused to answer his message or give him the satisfaction of knowing she been pining away for him all these years.

So, what was she doing waiting for him to show up in their spot? He hadn’t sent another message for her to meet him here, after all. She just assumed the man would show up and maybe this was the crux of her problem. She had missed him terribly and no other man, including Randall or Gilbert, had held even an ounce of her affection since the day Brandon Worthington left Reabridge. Her love had been wasted on a man who hadn’t even given her any sort of an explanation as to his long absence. Yet here she was… waiting for him on the off chance he would know her well enough to realize she would be here… waiting… The anticipation was going to kill her!

Hannah was just about to forget this whole foolish idea when the sound of carriage wheels on the gravel road reached her ears. They came to a halt a few moments later and soon the sound of someone’s uneven gait walking across the small wooden bridge announced his arrival. Squaring her shoulders, she took a deep breath to calm her already frayed nerves before she turned.

A Winning Wager

Dearest Gentle Reader:

It should come as no surprise that the Black Widow of Whitehall has been known as a matchmaker… that is… if you can afford the price. Recently the winner of an unusual bet at her Lyon’s Den, the Marquis of S was seen escorting a certain widow to the recent Hamilton affair. You must remember Mrs. H who has been the topic for many years in this very paper. She, among several of her lady friends, are a part of the Wicked Widow’s Club and if the rumors spreading among the ton are true, then the Marquis is determined to see Mrs. H. is returned to polite society. But time will tell if he can perform such a miracle and if he does, you’ll read it here first in your reliable Teatime Tattler!

Sincerely,

Samuel Clemens
Editor


Bluestocking Belle Sherry Ewing’s next release is entitled To Claim A Lyon’s Heart which is part of the Lyon’s Den Connected World. She, along with Belle Jude Knight, coordinated several scenes between their characters so Vincent and Moriah may look familiar if you’ve read her story The Talons of a Lyon. Read on for an excerpt from Sherry’s story.

Excerpt:

She found herself on the gallery looking over the gentlemen who were already deep into their cups and placing their wagers. Soft music from a harp and violin came from the far end of the room filled with candlelight. Most of the tables were filled with eager men ready to place their bets.

Cassandra leaned over to whisper in Moriah’s ear. “The table hosts, or dealers, are all men who are attracted to other men…”

“Interesting…” Moriah replied.

“And all have made-up names from Mrs. Dove-Lyon’s favorite play, A Midsummer’s Night Dream. This includes the bouncers and dealers.”

Moriah burst out laughing. “Surely you’re joking.”

“You’ll learn the ins and outs of the place quickly, depending on how long Mrs. Dove-Lyon takes to find the perfect man for you.”

“Do you think he’s really here, Cassie?” Moriah asked, almost holding her breath as her gaze swept the room. Her eyes traveled to one gentleman, and she almost dropped the wine glass she held in her hand. Moriah could hardly mistake the man who had watched her from a window of a neighboring house today. With the glaring sun, she highly doubted he had seen her clearly, but she certainly saw enough of him to know he had been utterly handsome.

His head bent forward as he perused his cards. A lock of his dark black hair fell rakishly over his forehead, giving Moriah the sudden urge to push back those silken locks from his face. From this distance, she couldn’t tell, but she thought his eyes might be blue. He appeared perhaps a year or two older than her own one and thirty years of age. Long fingers held his cards close to the table edge, causing Moriah to wonder how his palms and fingertips would feel caressing her skin.

Her face flushed at the thought and Moriah moved back from the railing of the gallery. She wanted to hide behind the curtain, too, but that would only make her distress more obvious. Good heavens…had it really been that long since she had a man in her bed that a perfect stranger could elicit such sudden urges in her body? She stole another glance at him, and when her heart flipped end over end, she realized that it had indeed been that long.

To Claim A Lyon’s Heart

Preorder for $0.99

 A gambler’s bet. A widow’s burden. Will one game of chance change their lives?

Vincent St. John, Marquis of Saxton, knows full well his duties to the duchy. His responsibilities have been drilled into him since his birth. He has no chance of finding a bride who will see him for who he truly is; they only see the title, not the man. A bet with Mrs. Dove-Lyon, the Black Widow of Whitehall, is just a diversion. Losing may win him everything.

Mrs. Moriah Henshaw has known her fair share of despair. The death of her parents and later her husband left her destitute with no option but to become a man’s mistress. Years later, her tarnished reputation outweighs her excellent birth, and keeps her from being accepted back into society. When her friend pays an outrageous sum to Mrs. Dove-Lyon to find Moriah a husband, Moriah cannot believe she will win anything.

When Vincent meets Moriah, he becomes determined to return her to her rightful place in society. But one accident after another threatens Moriah’s life, and neither of them will win in the game of love unless he can find out who is out to harm her.
