Three Novellas Anthology
Always a Lady
"Do you commonly quote Shakespeare to your dancing partners?"
Is it enough to say that I absolutely loved this second-chance, later-in-life romance with all of my heart? Having previously read the entire original collection it was nice to know that Caroline, Duchess of Riverton's desires for her children came to fruition in a myriad of ways, in spite of (and maybe because of) her unforeseen change in course with William, the dashing Earl of Blackstone, whose love relentlessly pursued her in witty, winsome, and wildly attractive ways.
"As long as I know you are ready to walk with me, we can go at whatever pace you wish." - Always a Lady

Always a Lady
Despite the fact that her daughter is not cooperating, Caroline, Duchess of Riverton is determined to ensure every one of her children marries someone they love as much as she loved their late father. William, the widowered Earl of Blackstone, is delighted to have his days of escorting daughters approaching an end. The last thing he expects is to find himself drawn to a woman who is just starting such a journey. Are they each too set in their ways to grasp this chance to have a second love?
The Lady’s Maid
When Lydia Smith began her career as a parlor maid, she knew love and marriage wasn’t likely in her future. Dreaming about the boy next door as she dusted seemed harmless until he started working as the new valet under the same roof. When Finch needs her help with a special project, will it give them a chance to defy expectations and find love or ruin their happiness forever?
