Dear Readers,

This shocking report has just been received in our newsroom:

Dear Mr. Clemens,

It has long been the opinion of the Ton that the Sangford family’s claim to a royal connection is a sham meant only to promote their daughters’ status on the marriage mart. Not that it has worked, mind you. After all, five failed seasons should be sufficient to indicate that Miss Irene Sanford is not a suitable match for any peer she hopes to snag. And Mr. Sangford has made it clear it must be a man of title who marries either of his daughters.

Miss Sangford has gained no traction in her attempts to wed, and will now have to sit this season out, her broken leg binding her to home. No balls or dinners for this (surely by now rather desperate) young lady. It seems spinsterhood will be her fate.

For those of us who have suffered under her sharp tongue and not-so-subtle machinations to win a nobleman, her current circumstance seems well deserved.

It must be a terrible blow to her father that the one man to pay Miss Sangford recent attention is Mr. Nathaniel Macrae. Not only was his grandfather a Jacobite, but Mr. Macrae has been known to mingle in the lowest of circles, despite his breeding as a gentleman.

One almost feels sorry for Mr. Macrae. Even a man who keeps poor company should not associate with a woman of such unpleasant character. One wonders what draws him to her? This correspondent will keep her eyes and ears open. One suspects there is a possible scandal on the horizon. We shall wait and see.

Your faithful correspondent,

A mother relieved to see Miss Sangford unavailable this season

 

Irene’s Fall

Pride comes before her fall. Love helps her stand again.

Irene Sangford has willingly cast herself as the villain of her own story. After all, her family has taught her that arrogance and manipulation are suitable qualities in a lady if she’s seeking a husband with a title. Especially when there are so few such men to be had, and she is competing with her own sister to snap one of them up.

Nathaniel Macrae not only has no title, he has immersed himself in low society in his role as a secret investigator. Miss Sangford would never have given him a second glance, but when an attempted murder leads his inquiries right to her door, and a shocking secret from her past threatens to unravel her entire life, Irene discovers that Mr. Macrae is more compelling than any man she has ever met.

As Irene’s world falls apart, and she questions everything she has ever known, Nathaniel becomes her anchor in life’s greatest storm. Except this storm threatens to destroy them both. They will have to challenge everything they know and trust each other if they are to survive and find the love that has eluded them.

To be released on 27 December (available now to pre-order)
