Opis

As the daughter of a prominent horse breeder, Catherine Billington's early life amidst the beauty of the English countryside has been rather uneventful until the death of her most beloved brother changes everything. While her middle-class existence had previously left her with few complaints and even less intrigue - save the weekly visits from the preacher's dull son - the untimely appearance of a rather mysterious new earl begins to complicate all of her social events. Uncertain of his intentions and determined not to fall prey to his infamous charm, Catherine's plan is thwarted by fate's intervention when she and the earl are thrown into each others' company by a terrible accident. Will Catherine be able to save her reputation from ruin, or will her time with the earl destroy her chances of returning to respectable society? Or worse still, what if he's not at all what he seems, and her previously simple life becomes even more complicated? The first in a new series, "In An English Garden" is the author's debut novel. Set in the years between the Regency and Victorian periods, it was written for anyone who loves "Pride and Prejudice" (but may find the language of Austen a bit cumbersome for a contemporary pleasure reader), and the story remains true to the social conventions of that era while still creating engaging characters and an enjoyable tale that transcend their own time.
