“I . . . was utterly enchanted” and “Best of all, the love story is real and gritty and glorious.” -Mary Balogh, author of the Survivors' Club series

Henry Delamere, the seventh Earl of Ashthorpe, has built an impossibly thick wall of ice around his heart, and only his granddaughter can thaw it. He’d do anything for Mina, but she just wants two things—a new storybook and a new grandmama. Henry can’t see why either should be too hard to acquire.
Miss Susannah Beasley has no idea where the years have gone. Wasn’t it just yesterday she was a girl dancing on the green with her sweetheart? True, that fellow married another long ago, and Susannah only sees a gray-haired old woman when she looks in the glass. But her flame still burns brightly.
When the frosty Henry Delamere comes to Susannah’s village in search of a mysterious author, the friction between them makes that flame glow, flare high, become a torch. Is it a signal? A guiding light? Or will the spark of their passion set her whole life ablaze?
Susannah wants a blaze. A bonfire. An inferno. But Henry's past—and hers—could turn everything to ash.
Can she find the fuel to light her earl on fire?
Yet as secrets and lies turn Evie’s world upside down, Sir Godric becomes the one person whom she can trust.
When ghosts, multiple wills, and a shocking marriage certificate bring Lord Burnsby’s past crashing into his present, Burnsby promptly dies, leaving Evie free to remarry…though as a virgin wife, now a virgin widow, she is more unnerved by the marriage bed than a spectral visit.
More importantly, she has to figure out whose identity is false, whose vows are dishonorable, whose truths could destroy her reputation—and where her heart belongs.

Felicity Niven is a hopeful romantic. Writing Regency romance is her third career after two degrees from Harvard. And you know what they say about third things? Yep, it’s a charm.
She splits her time between the temperate South in the winter and the cool Great Lakes in the summer and thinks there can be no greater comforts than a pot of soup on the stove, a set of clean sheets on the bed, and a Jimmy Stewart film on a screen in the living room.
She is the author of The Bed Me Books and The Lovelocks of London series.
