The Words and the Bees: A Gilded Age Romance
About this ebook
Daniel Carter hasn’t seen Cecilia in nearly twenty years, and—thanks to the terrible stray dog he’s definitely not adopting—their reunion is a rocky one. His work at her uncle’s estate is the project which will catapult his landscape design career to the next level, and he’s not about to let Cecilia, or his growing attraction to her, derail his work.
The more time Cecilia spends with Daniel, the more intrigued she is. Her childhood playmate has grown up handsome and clever, with a wicked talent for rhymes, but the innocence of their childhood days is long gone. Can Cecilia risk letting her guard down, or will she once again find herself advancing a man’s career at the expense of her own?
Looking for a twist on the usual historical romance? The Whitford Crew is a series of full-length standalone novels set in and around Gilded Age New York City, with slow-burn romances, cinnamon roll heroes, and open-door love scenes. The Words and the Bees also includes a STEM heroine, a troublesome dog, and two dozen increasingly dirty limericks.
