The Curious Countess
Энэ электрон номын тухай
She's as British as bluebells and rain. But now the Continental wars are over, her mother plans a life for Alara in the Ottoman Empire where she'll never see Britain again.
With one night of freedom, Alara's future depends on finding a British husband and forgetting the curious boy she's waited for all her life.
Lord Harman is heir to a political dynasty.
But hates intrigue and compromise. He'd trade it all for one more lazy summer day with the girl who inspired his mind and his heart.
At a wild Christmas revel he meets her again, still challenging him every step of the way and now very much a woman. When a dangerous mission falls into his lap, he must make an absolute choice: spend his last night with her playing pirate - or fulfill his destiny.
***
The Curious Countess is a standalone novella of about 100 pages, but readers of The Clandestine Countess may rejoice to see Lord Harman have a love story of his own.
Previously appeared as "His Unlaced Love" in the Penford Press anthology Lords and Lace.

Зохиогчийн тухай
Judith Lynne writes rule-breaking romances with love around every corner. Her characters tend to have deep convictions, electric pleasures, and, sometimes, weaponry.
She loves to write stories where characters are shaken by life, shaken down to their core, put out their hand… and love is there.
A history nerd with too many degrees, Judith Lynne lives in that other paradise, Ohio, with a truly adorable spouse, an apartment-sized domestic jungle, and a misgendered turtle. A past writer of SF and screenplays, she pens Regency romances of love you can believe in, with a rich sense of place and time.
