A Lord Apart
Page 31
“Perhaps. We’ll see.”
“Yes, Aunt Fenella.”
He practically bowed, and Fenella realized that she’d assumed mythic proportions in his mind. Inadvertently, she’d become the Aunt, the imposing relative so many families seemed to possess.

A smile escaped her. Aunt Moira wasn’t a bad source of inspiration. “Shall I show you the playhouse now?” she asked John.
He looked ready to jump for joy. “Yes, Aunt Fenella!”

The Way to a Lord’s Heart
First in a brand-new Regency romance series from bestselling author Jane Ashford
Widower Benjamin Romilly, Earl of Furness, has given up hope of finding happiness. His wife died in childbirth five years ago, leaving him with a broken heart and a child who only reminds him of his loss.

She arrives on the scene, questioning his abilities. She simultaneously infuriates and invigorates him, and she might be the only person who can breathe life into his neglected home—and his aching heart…
