A Covent Garden Countess
(Turn of the Century Romance)
Since fleeing a cruel fiancé, Annabel March has built a life for herself in London, working in a print shop and renting a modest room in a boardinghouse. But when her week’s pay is lost in a stranger’s carriage, Annabel is forced to take on a second job to stay afloat.
William, Lord Driffield, has inherited a fortune and a title, but his heart belongs to the theatre. On his way to purchase an aging music hall, he’s sidetracked by a headstrong beauty battling the rain in Covent Garden. After giving her a lift, he realizes too late she’s left her reticule behind, setting off a search that will change their lives.
Fate draws them both to the Asterbury Theatre, where their worlds—so different, yet so alike—collide. As their attraction deepens, Annabel must risk her hard-won independence for love, while Will faces a choice between his duty as a lord, his dreams of the stage, and his desire for Annabel.
Together, can they fight for a future of their own making?
