A Venetian Vow
(Gilded Age Belles Romance)
When New York banking heiress Cora Hobart leaves her scrapbook behind in a gondola, she believes it lost forever. The journal was meant for her future self, a private record of adventures chronicling the woman she hopes to become.
Ethan, Baron Radclyffe, never planned to read a stranger’s diary. Yet burdened by scandal and the cost of shielding his exiled brother, he opens A Year in the Life of Miss Coralie Hobart, 1897 and is captivated. He sees Venice through her eyes, and glimpses a life braver than his own.
When they finally meet, Cora is torn between gratitude and fury. Lord Radclyffe returned her journal, but not before reading every word!
And when it vanishes again, this time into far more dangerous hands, the threat is no longer embarrassment but exposure. Cora must choose whether to protect her heart—or entrust it to the one man who knows her best, line by line.
