Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Her father's last letter ends halfway through a sentence. The man she is coming to love believes nothing is missing.On her twenty-first birthday, Miss Rosamund Hensleigh will finally receive the letter her father sealed seven years before. She barely remembers him. Perhaps, in his own words, she will discover the man she lost.There is only one unwelcome detail: the letter must be delivered by the banker trying to take her family's home.Then Rosamund unfolds the page.At the bottom, her father's words stop mid-sentence.The banker insists there was only ever one sheet. His grandson believes him.Lieutenant Edmund Crane has spent every clear night since Christmas beside Rosamund in her attic observatory, helping her track the comet of 1821. Wounded at Waterloo and weary of Bath's pity, he has found something precious in her company: a young woman more interested in his observations than his injuries.Rosamund would rather measure a comet's tail than dance. She speaks plainly, trusts evidence, and has begun to trust Edmund.Now the missing page stands between them.With a micrometer, steady hands, and a mind that refuses to accept a convenient explanation, Rosamund begins examining what her father left behind. Edmund must weigh her findings against his faith in his grandfather-a choice that could threaten his family and the growing affection neither of them can ignore.Somewhere beyond that unfinished sentence lies a truth worth concealing for seven years.Rosamund intends to read it. But finding the rest of her father's words may cost her the future she has only just begun to want.The Second Sheet is Book Eight of The Ladies of the Lion's Mouth series and a complete spring romance in its own right-a tender story of starlit companionship, divided loyalties, and a daughter searching for her father in his handwriting.A clean and wholesome Regency romance with a gentle mystery, kisses only, no explicit content, no profanity, and a happy ending guaranteed.…

This Christmas, he returns-and her entire family is struck from Bath's most coveted guest list.Mrs. Honoria Pell has commanded The Quill like a frigate for twelve years. She has guarded its reputation, seen eight young women married, and kept the most dangerous secret in Bath: who writes the anonymous Post-Bag.She is thoroughly accustomed to managing everyone else's affairs.Her own are another matter.With the young women gone, the library is far too quiet. Then Sir Rowland Estcourt returns to Bath with an explanation Honoria is not at all sure she wishes to hear.At sixty-one, he remains elegant, maddening, and the town's idea of a rake. Honoria believes she knows what he has done. She is furious.She is also finding him rather difficult to dismiss.Then every member of her family is removed from the subscription book for the Upper Rooms Christmas Ball.In a single night, Bath's admired household becomes the subject of whispers. Honoria can endure an insult. Being pitied is intolerable.Rowland suspects the disgrace began thirty-two years ago-and that the fault is his.As Advent turns to Christmas, The Quill fills again with married daughters, husbands, children, a ward, and enough luggage to defeat a less determined hostess. Amid the reunions and preparations, Honoria must confront the past she thought she had settled.Accepting Rowland's help means hearing him out. Accepting his courtship means admitting she still wants something for herself.And a woman who has spent years protecting everyone she loves must decide whether she can bear to let someone care for her.Ever Yours, with Candour is the ninth and final book in The Ladies of the Lion's Mouth series-a warm, witty Christmas romance of second chances, old letters, and a house full of love.A clean and wholesome Regency romance with kisses only, no explicit content, no profanity, and a happy ending guaranteed.…
